Logging and Reporting

 

Adding option for VDOM logs through management VDOM (232284)

FortiOS supports the definition of per VDOM FortiAnalyzers. However it is required that each VDOM logs independently to its FortiAnalyzer server.

A new option, use-management-vdom, has been added to the CLI.

config vdom edit xxx

config log fortianalyzer override-setting set use-management-vdom enable/disable

end end

end

If this option is enabled, source-ip will become hidden and when FortiGate sends logs to FortiAnalyzer, it uses management vdom ip setting as source ip. Also if IPsec is enabled, the tunnel is created in management

vdom and source ip belongs to management vdom.

Log backup and restore tools (265285)

Local disk logs can now be backed up and restored, using new CLI commands.

exec log backup <filename>

exec log restore <filename>

Restoring logs will wipe the current log and report content off the disk.
