Fortigate accessing syslog server to generate report

[nazrlagi]

I know this question not relevan, however just trying my luck.

As for my fortigate 100d does not have hard disk to archive logs. I keep the log in my syslog nas server. Is there anyway i could get fortigate grep the archive syslog server then generate report from it?

Hi Nazrin,

No there is no way to query the syslog to display logs on the Fortigate. However, the 100D does have a built in hard disk, so you should be able to use that for logs. It is enabled by default.

Can you run "get system status" in the command line and see if the log disk is available? If not, you can format it ("execute format logdisk") and see if it comes online (requires a reboot). If the format fails, it would need to be RMA'd.

Regards,

Mike
