Description


This article describes FortiAnalyzer connectivity with FortiGate via IPsec tunnel which can be achieved by specifying the tunnel name in FortiAnalyzer log setting.

 

Scope

 

FortiGate.

 

Solution

 

In the FortiAnalyzer log setting, it is possible to specify the outgoing interface via 3 methods.
 
auto    <----- Set outgoing interface automatically.
sdwan   <----- Set outgoing interface by SD-WAN or policy routing rules.
specify <----- Set outgoing interface manually.
 
The reliable method to have connectivity via IPsec Tunnel can be achieved by specifying outgoing interface as tunnel interface manually. When using this method, it is recommended to assign an IP address to the IPsec tunnel interface and include that IP address in the phase2 selectors. 
 
This Configuration is only supported by CLI.
 
  1.  To Forti-analyze setting using below command:
 
tau-kvm28 # config log fortianalyzer setting 
 
  1. Enable FortiAnalyzer logs using the below command:

 

tau-kvm28 (setting) # set status enable  

tau-kvm28 (setting) # show full

config log fortianalyzer setting
    set status enable
    set ips-archive enable

    set conn-timeout 10
    set monitor-keepalive-period 5
    set monitor-failure-retry-period 5
    set certificate ''
    set source-ip ''
    set interface-select-method specify
    set interface ''                    <----- Mention the tunnel interface name.
