Alerts
Alerts provide a method of informing you of issues arising on a FortiGate unit on
your network or the FortiAnalyzer unit itself, such as system failures or network
attacks, enabling you to react in a timely manner to the event.
You configure the FortiAnalyzer unit alert conditions, instructing the FortiAnalyzer
unit what devices and what log messages to monitor, and what to do in the event
a log message appears meeting the alert conditions.
Alert Events
Alert events are the definitions the FortiAnalyzer unit monitors for when receiving
log message packets from registered devices. Configure the alert events that the
FortiAnalyzer unit monitors for and what it should do when encountering the alert.
