Topics Discussed
To obtain Log Relay and to configure your account for remote log collection, you must have the following AMP permissions added to your account:
Write Virtual Machine
Delete Log Management
Read Log Endpoints
Read Log Relays
Write Log Relays
Delete Log Relays
You can use this document to send Fortinet Security Gateway logs to Armor's Security Information & Event Management (SIEM).
Pre-Deployment Considerations
Before you begin, review the following requirements:
Log Relay
To create a remote Log Relay, you must already have:
A Log Relay server on your account
To learn how to add Log Relay to your account, see Obtain Log Relay for Remote Log Collection
Configured the system clock
Log Relay IP Address
You must be able to retrieve the log relay IP address from your AMP account:
In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Security.
Click Log & Data Management.
Click Agent Sources.
Locate and select the desired log relay.
Click Overview.
Locate and copy the Public IP.
Update your Fortinet Security Gateway
Log into your Fortinet Security Gateway.
In the upper, right corner, select CLI Console.
Run the following commands to configure the device to send syslogs to Log Relay, which will then forward the logs to Armor.
fgvm1 # config log syslogd setting fgvm1 (setting) # set status enable fgvm1 (setting) # set format default fgvm1 (setting) # set server <LOG_RELAY_IP_ADDRESS> fgvm1 (setting) # set port 10073 fgvm1 (setting) # end
To validate your current configuration, run the following command, either before or after the [fgvm1 (setting) # end] command.
fgvm1 # show log syslogd setting
If the format was set to something other than default, when the [fgvm1#show log syslogd setting] command is run, the current format will be returned (e.g. cef).
Within the command line, update the format command to default [fgvm1 (setting)#set format default].
Verify that logs are formatted correctly, similar to either of the following examples:
Fortigate can send messages in multiple formats.

Verify Logs in AMP
In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), you can view the actual logs to confirm that the configuration was successful.
In the Armor Management Portal (AMP), in the left-side navigation, click Security.
Click Log & Data Management, and then select Search.
In the search field, enter the IP address or the device name.
For example, you can enter *13.47.22.124* or *XXX-FW1*
This action will display collected FortiGate logs for that particular device.
