You can access the FortiGate command line interface (CLI) by connecting a management computer serial port to the FortiGate
The CLI supports the same configuration and monitoring functionality as the
Logging and reporting
The FortiGate supports logging of various categories of traffic and of configuration changes. You can configure logging to:
•report traffic that connects to the firewall,
•report network services used,
•report traffic permitted by firewall policies,
•report traffic that was denied by firewall policies,
•report events such as configuration changes and other management events, IPSec tunnel negotiation, virus detection, attacks, and web page blocking,
•report attacks detected by the NIDS,
•send alert email to system administrators to report virus incidents, intrusions, and firewall or VPN events or violations.
Logs can be sent to a remote syslog server or to a WebTrends NetIQ Security Reporting Center and Firewall Suite server using the WebTrends enhanced log format. Some models can also save logs to an optional internal hard drive. If a hard drive is not installed, you can configure most FortiGates to log the most recent events and attacks detected by the NIDS to shared system memory.
