Anybody know a way to capture a configuration change by an administrator? Currently the system only have a stating configuration change but didn' t have any indication on what changes are being made. Regards,

Such auditing can be done (automatically) through the FortiManager and (I believe) through FortiGuard' s Analysis and Management Service (but I am not familiar with that). For a standalone unit, you are pretty much on your own if you want to compare any config changes (e.g. using a text comparison tool).

Thank you so much Dave for the information. Ouch. Seriously, it required a fortimanager to perform a simple task.

Well, if you are good at scripting, you can always enable scp on the Fortigate and automate the process of pulling down the config and piping it through a text comparison tool to check for changes against a stored version of the config. :-P Don' t know if you want to go that far.
