Description
This article discusses about FortiGates in Forticloud account are not configured with high security level to send log to our log server.

Solution
In case of any email received from FortiCloud admin stating.
Find the following unit(s) in the account not configured with high security level to send log to the log server.

Note.
Connection will be dropped from FortiGate which is not configured with high security level after 10 days.


Use the below commands to enable the same:
# config log fortiguard setting
    set enc-algorithm high
end
The command will only work when the FortiCloud is activated on FortiGate and logs to Forticloud have been sent.
Also under fortiGuard setting status is enabled:
# config log fortiguard setting
    set status enable
    set enc-algorithm high
end
Below are the complete settings that are performed.
These settings are only available if an active FortiCloud subscription is associated with the unit.
