Configuration
SNMP
FortiSIEM uses SNMP to discover and monitor this device. Make sure SNMP is enabled for the device as directed in its product documentation. For more information, refer to sections "Discovery Settings" and "Setting Credentials" in the User Guide.
Syslog
FortiSIEM processes events from this device via syslog sent by the device. Configure the device to send syslog to FortiSIEM as directed in the device's product documentation, and FortiSIEM will parse the contents.
- For Syslog Server, or the server where the syslog should be sent, enter the IP address of your FortiSIEM virtual appliance.
- For Port, enter 514.
The syslog format should be the same as that shown in the example.
