Description

This article describes how to setup FortiGate logging to FortiCloud while being managed by FortiManager.

Scope

FortiGate, FortiCloud.

Solution

FortiGate is currently managed by an on-premise FortiManager:

Via CLI:

config system central-management

set type fortimanager <----- Previously set to FortiCloud it was managed by FortiCloud before.

set fmg <10.47.1.168>

end

Enable Cloud logging to FortiCloud:

Via CLI:

config log fortiguard setting

set status enable

end

Confirmed logs are populated inside FortiGate Cloud:
