Connecting to the FortiLog Unit
In order for FortiLog to receive log files, you need to configure the FortiGate, FortiMail
or syslog devices to send log files to the FortiLog unit. You also need to configure the
FortiLog unit to accept the log files from these devices.
This chapter explains how to set up your devices to send log files to the FortiLog unit
running in Active mode. If you are using the FortiLog device in Passive mode, you do
not have to read this chapter.
This chapter includes:
•

FortiMail and syslog devices and uses those logs to generate detailed reports. Before
this can occur, you need to configure the devices to send the log files to the FortiLog
unit. You also need to configure the FortiLog unit to receive the log files.
