Audit Logs Export

Enable this option to export system-level events, such as user logins and server creation, to specified log servers for individual accounts.

Exporting logs that span the entire organizational unit is not supported.

Server Type	Select the destination server for exporting audit logs. See the following instructions for FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, SysLog and ElasticSearch.
FortiAnalyzer FortiAnalyzer is a powerful log management, analytics, and reporting platform that provides centralized logging and analysis, plus end-to-end visibility. Please note the following: FortiAnalyzer is supported; however, FortiAnalyzer Cloud is not. When configuring the corresponding ADOM on FortiAnalyzer, please set the Type to FortiWeb. FortiAnalyzer supports assigning devices to different ADOMs, provided that each OU’s master account is associated with a distinct contract (i.e., a unique serial number). However, if the organization has enabled Contract Sharing Mode, all OU accounts share the same contract and serial number. In this case, FortiAnalyzer treats them as a single device, which prevents assigning them to different ADOMs.

Notification Emails

FortiAppSec Cloud sends notifications to your email about the information related with subscription, new features in each release, system maintenance, certificate expiration and more.

Enable Notification Emails in General > Settings to send notification emails to your registered email address.

Contract Sharing Mode

When Contract Sharing Mode is enabled, all accounts within your organization will use the license from the root account, regardless of any license(s) under member accounts. This feature is ideal for Large Enterprises and Fully Managed MSSPs, allowing them to manage applications and permissions effectively through sub-member accounts.

API Key

FortiAppSec Cloud RESTful API requires API key authorization. You can generate the API key from the GUI directly. Please note that API key creation does not restrict only to users with write permission. Read-only users can also create an API key.

Please note, the API key’s permissions are bound to the user who created it.

For API documentation, see the FortiAppSec Cloud RESTful API Reference.

Generating API Key

Log into your FortiAppSec Cloud account through the Web UI.
Go to General > Settings.
Scroll down to API Key.
Click Create. This will generate an API key ID and API key secret.

You only have one chance to view the API key secret, so make sure you save it in a secure location. The key secret will not be stored at the back-end server.

In the API Key table, you can see the API key ID, creation and last usage timestamps, as well as its active or deactivated status. If you encounter any security issues with the key, you have the option to deactivate it. Please note that if your API Key is leaked, we might deactivate it as a precautionary measure. Each user is limited to creating only one API key at a time. If needed, you can delete an existing API key before generating a new one.

When using this API key, add it to the HTTP authentication header as below:

authentication: Basic <api-key-secret>

Please note, exceeding the limit of failed attempts (3 times) will result in a 30-minute cool down period for further requests. Failed attempts can accumulate due to the following four scenarios:

Cannot find the corresponding user on FortiCloud.
The API key is illegal.
Do not have any valid licenses.
Using a deactivated API key.

We have implemented rate limiting, allowing a maximum of 200 requests per minute. This limit applies to both IP addresses and API keys.
