Description This article describes why the Application Control logs are not displayed in FortiAnalyzer Log View > Security.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

The following two configurations must be in place for the FortiGate to forward the Application control logs to the FortiAnalyzer.

 

The respective firewall policy must be configured with the Application Control profile, in which the log setting must be enabled.

 

config application list
    edit "Test_Application_Control_Profile"
       config entries
           edit 1
              set log enable
           next
       end
end

 

Application Control logs have the severity level of 'information', so the FortiAnalyzer log filter setting must be set to send severity 'information' severity level logs to FortiAnalyzer in the FortiGate.

 

config global
    config log fortianalyzer filter
        set severity information
    end
end

 

Use the following log test command in FortiGate and validate that Application Control logs are now visible in FortiAnalyzer Log View -> Security -> Application Control.

 

diagnose log test
