| Description | This article describes how to set up FortiAnalyzer to check the validity of licenses for all FortiGate firewalls. and send an email notification when licenses are about to expire. With the help of such notifications, it is possible to stay on top of license renewals and avoid license expiry. |
| Scope | FortiAnalyzer v6.X and v7.X. |
| Solution |
Two steps are needed for this action:
config alertemail setting
set FDS-license-expiring-warning enable
set FDS-license-expiring-days 30
end
FortiGate will check the license expiration every midnight (00:00:00).
Warning logs will be generated if the expiration days left are less than or equal to the set value in the command 'FDS-license-expiring-days'.
