Introduction
FortiLog units are network appliances that provide integrated log collection, analysis
tools and data storage. Detailed log reports provide historical as well as current
analysis of network and email activity to help identify security issues and reduce
network misuse and abuse.
FortiLog units operate in one of two modes:
• In Active mode as a log collection and analysis tool to collect logs from FortiGate
and FortiMail devices and generate reports based on log data.
• In Passive mode as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) server to act as an
additional storage device.

• FortiLog-100, desktop model with one hard drive.
• FortiLog-400, desktop model with four hard drives.
• FortiLog-800, rackmount model with four hard drives.
