Configuring logging to a FortiCloud server
The FortiCloud server can be used as a redundant backup, or your primary logging solution. The following assumes that this service has already been registered, and a subscription has been purchased for expanded space. The following is an example of how to these settings are configured for a network’s log configuration. You need to have access to both the CLI and the web-based manager when configuring uploading of logs. The upload time and interval settings can be configured in the web-based interface.
To configure logging to the FortiCloud server
1. Go to System > Dashboard > Status and click Login next to FortiCloud in the License Information widget.
2. Enter your username and password, and click OK. (Or register, if you have not yet done so.)
3. Logs will automatically be uploaded to FortiCloud as long as your FortiGate is linked to your FortiCloud account.
4. To configure the upload time and interval, go to Log & Report > Log Config > Log Settings.
5. Under the Logging and Archiving header, you can select your desired upload time.
With FortiCloud you can easily store and access FortiGate logs that can give you valuable insight into the health and security of your network.
