Technical Tip: Unable to configure source-ip and interface-select-method under log settings for internal server

[malam]

Description	This article describes the expected behavior when it is not possible to configure 'set source-ip' and 'set interface-select-method' under FortiAnalyzer or any other syslog server settings.
Scope	FortiGate, SD-WAN.
Solution	This issue happens only with the HA-Cluster. Check the ha configuration with the command 'show system ha', and it will be possible to see that 'ha-direct' is enabled. The ha-direct is needed to use the configured management interface which is configured in the HA setting under 'config ha-mgmt-interfaces' to send log messages to FortiAnalyzer and remote syslog servers, and send SNMP as explained in this KB article: Technical Tip: Sending messages (logs, SNMP, RADIUS) directly from the HA management interface. In this case, it will not be possible to configure 'set source-ip' and 'set interface-select-method'. To configure another interface to communicate with FortiAnalyzer and remote syslog servers there are two solutions: Disable the ha-direct (but remember in this case configured management interface only be used for management access) by disabling ha-direct. It will be possible to configure 'set source-ip' and 'set interface-select-method' under FortiAnalyzer or any other syslog server settings. The second solution, as it is still not possible to configure source-ip and interface-select-method because ha-direct is enabled, is to configure another management interface as explained in this KB article: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiAnalyzer/Technical-Tip-How-to-specify-outgoing-interface-for-...
