Description

This article describes how to configure FortiGate to send logs to multiple FortiAnalyzer as well as to verify the connectivity between them.

Scope

FortiAnalyzer/FortiGate.

Solution

1) It is possible to have FortiGate send logs to 3 different FortiAnalyzers.

 

2) Only the first FortiAnalyzer can be added via the GUI under Security Fabric -> Fabric Connector -> FortiAnalyzer Logging.

3) The other 2 FortiAnalyzers’ IP addresses and Serial Number, can only be added using the CLI:

 

# config log fortianalyzer2 setting

    set status enable

    set server x.x.x.x

    set serial FAZ-VMYYYYYYY

    set upload-option <realtime/1-minute/5-minute>

end

 

# config log fortianalyzer3 setting

    set status enable

    set server x.x.x.x

    set serial FAZ-VMYYYYYYY

    set upload-option <realtime/1-minute/5-minute>

end

 

4) Log in to each FortiAnalyzer and authorize the FortiGate.

5) Run the following commands to test the connectivity and verify if logs are sent to all 3 FortiAnalyzers. Verify also the FortiAnalyzer Host Name and Serial Number.

 

# execute log fortianalyzer test-connectivity  <-----  Test 1st FortiAnalyzer.

# execute log fortianalyzer test-connectivity <-----  Test 2nd FortiAnalyzer.

# execute log fortianalyzer test-connectivity 3 <----- Test 3rd FortiAnalyzer.
