Indexer based reports
| Indexer based reports support FortiGate, FortiClient, and FortiMail. FortiWeb is only supported with SQL Database. |
If you have disabled the SQL database for log storage in
System > Config > SQL Database, you will configure reports based on logs from the proprietary indexer file system. See
“Enable/disable SQL database” for more information.
Logs are the basis of all FortiAnalyzer reports and must be collected or uploaded before you can generate a report, see
“Log & Archive” for more information about logs. After logs are collected or uploaded, you can then define the three basic components that make up a report based on logs from the proprietary indexed file system:
• report layout (the report template and the contents)
• output and data filter templates, language (optional components)
• report schedule (log data parameters and time range).
