Troubleshooting Tip: FortiView VPN Map in FortiAnalyzer does not show VPN location based on Device location
| Description | This article explains that the Map widget in FortiView -> VPN in FortiAnalyzer will show device locations as IP Geolocation rather than the configured device locations. |
| Scope | FortiAnalyzer. |
| Solution | The following is an example of a logging device that has been configured with a location.
When viewing the VPN connection from the FortiView -> VPN -> Site-to-Site IPsec, the map will show a different location than the device's Geographic Coordinate.
This is because the Site-to-Site IPsec map will show VPN connection locations based on the Geolocation of the IP address rather than the device's Geographic coordinates.
Summary: FortiAnalyzer’s VPN Map is based on IP geolocation, not on actual dynamic VPN tunnel information. When tunnels are not geolocated or resolved properly, they will not appear on the map. For accurate tunnel details, rely on the tunnel list view, where all relevant fields are displayed. |
