Description |
This article describes a known issue users might face with the FortiGate’s connection to the FortiAnalyzer. FortiGate stores the serial number of the FortiAnalyzer in a cached list along with timestamps. These timestamps are used to check the expiration of the serial number entries. |
Scope |
FortiGate v7.6.0 or earlier. |
Solution |
Use the below command to check the serial number:
**output-ommitted** faz: global , enabled server=A.B.C.D, alt-server=, active-server=A.B.C.D, realtime=1, ssl=3, state=connected server_log_status=Log is allowed., src=, mgmt_name=FGh_Log_root_A.B.C.D, reliable=1, sni_prefix_type=none, required_entitlement=none, region=ca-west-1, logsync_enabled:1, logsync_conn_id:65535, seq_no:21746 disconnect_jiffies:0 status: ver=7, used_disk=0, total_disk=0, global=0, vfid=0 conn_verified=Y SNs: last sn update:46 seconds ago. Sn list: (FAZAAABBBCCCDDDD,age=46s) queue: qlen=0. **output-ommitted**
The issue occurs when the FortiAnalyzer’s serial number entry expires in the cached list because of the known issue, which in turn deletes the serial number from the FortiGate’s configuration and disconnects the FortiAnalyzer.
config log fortianalyzer setting set status enable set server "A.B.C.D" set serial "FAZAAABBBCCCDDDD" set upload-option realtime set reliable enable end
Serial number missing in the below configuration, as the FortiAnalyzer disconnects:
config log fortianalyzer setting set status enable set server "A.B.C.D" set upload-option realtime set reliable enable end
This behavior occurs because of the known issues #1083537 and #1088385, these issues have been resolved in v7.6.1. Check: FortiOS 7.6.1 Resolved Issues.
