Configure Fortinet Fortigate for syslog log forwarding to Radiant Security.
Overview
In this guide, you will configure syslog log forwarding for Fortinet Fortigate.
You’ll do this by completing the following steps:
- Add the data connector in Radiant Security
- Configure the syslog token on the Fortigate Firewalls
- Configure log forwarding with FortiAnalyzer
- Configure TLS syslog directly from FortiGate Firewalls
- Configure log filters
Licenses
No additional license is required to forward the syslog events directly from each firewall console, but if the client has FortiAnalyzer the log collection and forwarding is centralized and requires a different step-by-step which is covered below on the Configure log forwarding with FortiAnalyzer section.
Configure the syslog token on the Fortigate Firewalls
- Access the Fortigate CLI
- Enter the following commands to create a custom log field and apply it to the logging configuration. Repeat this step on all Fortigate firewalls.
config log custom-field
edit <fieldID>
set name rs_fg_st
set value <token>
end
config log setting
set custom-log-fields <fieldID>
end
Configure log forwarding with FortiAnalyzer
- Access the FortiAnalyzer Console, go to System Settings > Advanced > Syslog Server.
- In the toolbar, click Create New.
- On the new pane, configure the following settings:
- Name: RadiantSecurity_Connector
- FQDN/IP: primary.syslog.radiantsecurity.ai
- Syslog Server Port: 6514
- Reliable Connection: ON
- Secure Connection: ON
- Click OK to save your changes.
Configure TLS syslog directly from FortiGate Firewalls
Use the following help article as a reference: Log settings and targets.
-
Take the CA certificate provided by Radiant Security and import it to FortiGate as a Remote CA at System > Certificates > Create/Import > CA Certificate > File
-
Log into the FortiGate CLI and configure the following syslogd setting:
config log syslogd setting
set status enable
set server "<Radiant Security Syslog Server>"
set mode reliable
set port 6514
set enc-algorithm high
end
