{% hint style="info" %}
To use Fortinet FortiAnalyzer to forward Fortigate syslog to Radiant Security, refer to the [Fortinet FortiAnalyzer (syslog) documentation](https://help.radiantsecurity.ai/~/revisions/lKcvF0ITeM8cVhUuHU84/radiant-connectors/data-connectors/fortinet-fortianalyzer-syslog)
{% endhint %}

### Add the data connector in Radiant Security

1. Log in to [Radiant Security](https://app.radiantsecurity.ai/).
2. From the navigation menu, click **Settings** > **Data Connectors** and click **+ Add Connector**.
3. Search for and select the **Radiant Agent** option and then click **Data Feeds**.
4. Under **Select your data feeds**, select the **Fortinet Fortigate v7** data feed and click **Credentials**.

6. Click **Add Connector**.

### Configure syslog directly from FortiGate Firewalls

The steps below must be applied on all Fortigate firewalls that should forward syslog to Radiant Security. Use the following help article as a reference: [Log settings and targets](https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.1/administration-guide/250999/log-settings-and-targets).

Log into the FortiGate CLI and configure the following syslogd setting:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure to replace the `server` placeholder with the private IP of the VM where the agent is installed, and the `port` one by the port configured for the Fortigate Firewall data type (if you don't know the port, please reach out to your Customer Success rep.)
{% endhint %}

```jsx
config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set server <INTERNAL_IP_OF_YOUR_RADIANT_AGENT>
    set mode reliable
    set port <PORT_CONFIGURED_IN_YOUR_AGENT_TO_RECEIVE_FORTIGATE_DATA>
    set enc-algorithm disable
end
```
