Hi, I would like to understand the FortiSIEM rule "No logs from a device" which I think is when a device stops sending logs for 10 minutes, I have many alerts and I want to increase the time from 10 minutes to 1 hour, How i can do it?

    2 Options ..

     

    1) Globally (for every device)

     

    Admin / Device Support / Custom Properties

     

    Change the 'EventRecvTimeGapHigh' setting, which defaults to 10 minutes.

     

     

    2) Per Individual Device 

     

    CMDB / Devices  ..  Edit Device / Device Properties

     

    Change the ..

    'Event Receive Time Gap High Threshold minutes'. Setting per device.

     

    More admin with this method, but you can define a threshold per device.

     

     

     

    ie: If a FW has not delivered syslog in the last 5 minutes .. its a issue.

         If a layer 2 switch has not delivered syslog in the last 72 hours .. it might be normal behavior.
