Configure Fortinet FortiManager log forwarding using the CLI

You can configure Fortinet® FortiManager to send the necessary logs to Arctic Wolf® for security monitoring using the command line interface (CLI).

  • An activated Capteur Arctic Wolf or Collecteur de journaux virtuel (vLC)
  • An SSH client (for example, PuTTY)
  • A console cable

Launch your SSH client

  1. Connect one end of your console cable to the console port on the FortiManager appliance.
  2. Connect the other end of your console cable to a serial communications (COM) port on your computer.
  3. In your SSH client, configure these settings:
    • Serial line — Enter COM1.
    • Speed (baud) — Enter 115200.
    • Data bits — Enter 8.
    • Stop bits — Enter 1.
    • Parity — Select None.
    • Flow control — Select None.
  4. Sign in to the CLI with administrator permissions using your SSH client.
  5. Run this command:
    BASH 
    config system syslog
 edit <name>
   set ip <sensor_ip>
   set port 514
   set reliable disable
 end
end

    Where:

    • name is the name of your Capteur Arctic Wolf.
    • sensor_ip is the Capteur Arctic Wolf IP address.
