Configuring remote logging on NVA FortiGates

You must set up remote logging on the NVA FortiGates, as you cannot attach local logging disks to them.

To configure remote logging on NVA FortiGates:

1. In FortiManager, go to Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates.
2. Create a new template or edit an existing template for logging.
3. Scroll down, and enable Log Settings, and set the following options:

   

   • Enable the desired logging destination. This example enables Send Logs to FortiAnalyzer/FortiManager as the logging destination.

     If using FortiManager as a remote logging destination, enable System Settings > Dashboard > System Information > FortiAnalyzer Features.

     For information on remote logging via FortiManager, see System Templates.

   • Enable Reliable Logging to FortiAnalyzer.

     Ensure to enable this option before applying the changes to the template.

4. Assign the template to the NVA FortiGates:
   1. On the System Templates page, select the new logging template, then click Assign to Device/Group.

      

   2. In the Assign to Devices/Groups dialog, select the NVA FortiGates, then click OK.

      

5. Install device settings:
   1. From Device Manager > Provisioning Templates > System Templates, click Install Wizard.
   2. Install device settings only.
   3. Select the devices to log remotely, then click Next > Install.
6. After FortiManager installs device settings to the FortiGate instances, device logs populate on the selected logging destination. To generate logs for verification, go to the NVA FortiGate CLI from FortiManager, and run diagnose log test. In the example, you can find logs in FortiManager in Log View > Traffic.
