Overview

Our CCE (collection and control engine) takes log from Fortiweb using port 514(UDP), so make sure that the port 514 is allowed from the firewall.

Before you can log to Syslog, you must enable it for the log type that you want to use as a trigger. For details, see Enabling log types, packet payload retention, & resource shortage alerts.

Steps Of Configuration

Step 1. Go to Log&Report > Log Policy > Syslog Policy.
