Description

This article explains how to enable the 'config log fortianalyzer override-filter' command on FortiGate.

This command becomes available only when certain prerequisites are configured in the correct order within a Virtual Domain (VDOM).

Scope FortiGate with VDOMs, FortiAnalyzer logging configuration.
Solution

To successfully configure the 'config log fortianalyzer override-filter', the following two settings must be enabled in order and within the same VDOM context:

  1. 'faz-override 'under the 'config log' setting.

  2. status under 'config log fortianalyzer override-setting'.

Once both are enabled, the override-filter configuration becomes available.

 

Example Configuration:

Enter the target VDOM (e.g., test):

 

config vdom
    edit test
 

Enable FortiAnalyzer override:

 

config log setting
    set faz-override enable
end

 

Enable FortiAnalyzer override-setting and specify the server:

 

config log fortianalyzer override-setting
    set status enable
    set server "10.10.10.10"
end

 

The following command becomes accessible:

 

config log fortianalyzer override-filter

 

Verification:

Verify the configuration using the following commands:

 

show log setting
show log fortianalyzer override-setting
show log fortianalyzer override-filter
