Logging support and daily log limits
The daily log limits available for FortiGate devices depend on the FortiGate platform. These daily log limits can be expanded with an additional storage license. Adding additional storage licenses also enables FortiAnalyzer Cloud to receive logs from other supported devices like FortiMail.
For more information on licensing and SKUs, see the FortiAnalyzer Cloud Deployment Guide and FortiAnalyzer Cloud Datasheet.
FortiGate devices
FortiAnalyzer Cloud supports logs from FortiGates. Each FortiGate with an entitlement is allowed a fixed daily rate of logging.
When determining the daily log limit for FortiAnalyzer Cloud, the form factor of the FortiGate model determines the log limits. The chart below identifies some FortiGate models for each form factor as an example.
The following rates are based on the FortiAnalyzer Cloud a la carte subscription:
|
Form Factor |
Example FortiGate Model |
Total daily log limit for FortiAnalyzer-VM v6.4 and later |
|---|---|---|
|
Desktop or FGT-VM models with 2 CPU |
FortiGate 30 series, FortiGate 90 series | 200MB/Day |
|
1RU or FGT-VM models with 4 CPU |
FortiGate 100 series, FortiGate 600 series, FortiGate 800 series, FortiGate 900 series | 1GB/Day |
|
2 RU and above or FGT-VM models with 8 CPU and above |
FortiGate 1000 series and higher | 5GB/Day |
Once the limit has been reached, users must purchase additional storage in order for FortiAnalyzer Cloud to maintain logs for 12 months. You can purchase additional storage licenses to expand the daily logging limits for your FortiGate devices. For more information about daily log limits included with additional storage licenses, see Additional Storage licenses.
