Hi, FortiFamily

Is it possible to send syslogs from Fortigate HA Passive equipment?

Hi Jin

You can probably do that once you configure a reserved mgmt interface.

This allows you use SNMP with the passive nodes, and "I guess" syslog as well (I didn't test it though).

Hi, I would ask another question - why? Passive member of the HA does not generate own logs, it records logs synchronized to it from the Active member, so basically you will see in Passive member the same logs as in the Active one.

In the auto backup config, the passive member sent the config. so I wonder if syslog is possible
