Log Servers

FortiSandbox logs can be sent to a remote syslog server, common event type (CEF) server, or FortiAnalyzer. Go to Log & Report > Log Servers to create new, edit, and delete remote log server settings. You can configure up to 30 remote log server entries.

Logs are transmitted instantly. If connectivity to the Log Server is interrupted, FortiSandbox will cache the logs in its buffer and attempt to resend later. The log buffer capacity is 1024 logs. Newer logs are discarded when the buffer is full.
