The Automatic Discovery feature must be enabled on the FortiAnalyzer side to work
properly. The FortiAnalyzer unit requires 3.0 firmware (and higher) to use this feature.
Fortinet recommends contacting a FortiAnalyzer administrator to verify Automatic
Discovery is enabled on the FortiAnalyzer unit before using this feature.
To enable automatic discovery
1
Go to
Log&Report > Log Config > Log Setting
.
2
Select the Expand Arrow beside
Remote Logging
to reveal the available options.
3
Select
FortiAnalyzer
.
4
Select
Automatic Discovery
.
5
Select a FortiAnalyzer unit from the
Connect To
list, if available.
If no FortiAnalyzer unit is available, contact a FortiAnalyzer administrator to verify if
there is one on the network.
6
Select
Discover
.
The FortiGate unit searches within the same subnet for a response from any available
FortiAnalyzer units.

Testing the FortiAnalyzer configuration
After configuring FortiAnalyzer settings, test the connection between the FortiGate unit
and FortiAnalyzer unit to verify both devices are communicating properly. During testing,
the FortiGate unit displays information about specific settings for transmitting and
receiving logs, reports, content archive and quarantine files.
The FortiGate unit must learn the IP address of the FortiAnalyzer unit before testing the
connection. A false test report failure may result if testing the connection occurs before the
FortiGate unit learns the IP address of the FortiAnalyzer unit.
To test the connection, go to
Log&Report > Log Config > Log Setting
, expand
Remote
Logging
options, and then select
Test Connectivity.

Note:
If your FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, you must modify the interface in the
CLI before Automatic Discovery can carry traffic. Use the procedure in the Fortinet
Knowledge Center article,
Fortinet Discovery Protocol in Transparent mode
, to enable the
interface to also carry traffic when using the Automatic Discovery feature.
