It is possible to change the telemetry interval, which means the frequency at which the FortiClient will send the logs to the FortiAnalyzer.

 

Make sure to configure the FortiAnalyzer IP address or FQDN and port below:

For FortiClientEMS-Cloud and FortiAnalyzer-Cloud:

Both FortiClient-Cloud and FortiAnalyzer-Cloud should be under the same account.
FortiClientEMS-Cloud has a button option ('Auto-config FAZ Cloud') that should auto-fill the FQDN of the FortiAnalyzer-Cloud.

Select 'Save' at the end.

After that, the logs will be sent to the FortiAnalyzer as well. By default, port 514-TCP is used; ensure to allow this communication in VIP and/or Firewall Policies.

It can show logs related to FortiClient traffic, all events, and also show vulnerability logs.
