Description | This article describes a workaround and solution for an issue where a FortiGate loses connectivity to the FortiAnalyzer after changing the interface-select-method from auto to 'sdwan' via a FortiManager CLI script. |
Scope | FortiGate v7.2.10. |
Solution |
When the interface-select-method is changed from 'auto' to 'sdwan' using a FortiManager CLI script, the FortiGate loses connectivity to the FortiAnalyzer when the FortiAnalyzer address is configured as an FQDN address. As a result, log transmission to the FortiAnalyzer fails.
config log fortianalyzer setting set server "<FortiAnalyzer FQDN address>" The following errors may appear in the debug logs after changing the setting:
This issue occurs when DNS fails to resolve the FortiAnalyzer address and does not attempt to resolve the IP address again after the interface-select-method is changed to 'sdwan'. This issue has been resolved in FortiOS v8.0.0 (scheduled to be released in February 2026)
