Alert
Alerts provide a method of informing you of issues arising on a FortiGate unit,
FortiClient installation, or the FortiAnalyzer unit itself, such as system failures or
network attacks, enabling you to react in a timely manner to the event.
You can 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.
This section includes the following topics:
• Alert Events
• Output
Alert Events
Alert events define log message types, severities and sources which trigger
administrator notification. For example, you could configure a trigger on the attack
logs with an SMTP server output if you want to receive an alert by email when
your network detects an attack attempt.
You can choose to notify administrators by email, SNMP or Syslog, as well as the
Alert Console Messages section of the Dashboard. For more information on
viewing alerts locally, see
“Viewing alert console messages” on page 34 .
To view configured alert events, go to Alert > Alert Event .
