Configuring FortiOS

This section explains how to enable FortiOS to send logs to FortiAnalyzer Cloud.

To configure FortiOS:

1. In FortiOS, enable FortiAnalyzer Cloud.
   1. Go to Security Fabric > Fabric Connectors, and edit the Logging and Analytics card.
   2. Select the Cloud Logging tab, and set the Type to FortiAnalyzerCloud.
   3. Configure the remaining settings to your preference, and click OK.

   
   

2. In the FortiAnalyzer Cloud instance, go to Device Manager and authorize the FortiGate.
   In some cases, FortiAnalyzer automatically authorizes the FortiGate, and you can skip this step. For example, FortiAnalyzer can automatically authorize a FortiGate when both devices are part of the same FortiCloud account, and the FortiAnalyzer API can verify the serial number and entitlement for the FortiGate with FortiCare. FortiAnalyzer cannot automatically authorize a FortiGate in an HA cluster or in a Security Fabric.
   

   When successfully authorized, the cloud logging status displays as Enabled .
