Hello.

 

I want to ask how to send log syslog from Fortigate On-Prem to Linux VM in Azure or Google Cloud (GCP) ? 

 

I have tried it but it didn't send logs, but ping is reachable from Fortigate to VM. Is is required to use P2P IPSec ? and can some one please give guidence on how to send directly with out P2P ?

Hello @matt2341 ,

 

If your Syslog server is accessible from the internet via the UDP/514 port, FortiGate can send a log to this server. 

 

If your server is accessible and you already configured syslog on FortiGate but this was not successful, you can try to configure source IP with your wan interface IP  in the Syslog configuration.

 

config log syslogd setting     set source-ip x.x.x.x  end

 

Also, you can check on FortiGate whether FortiGate sends logs or not with this command.
