What are the steps to fetch logs on a FortiAnalyzer?

Fetching logs on a FortiAnalyzer typically involves configuring the FortiAnalyzer to retrieve logs from devices or clients that send logs to it. A crucial step in this process is to create a profile for the fetch server on the fetch client. This profile defines the connection parameters and settings that allow the fetch client to communicate with the FortiAnalyzer effectively.

By establishing this profile, you ensure that the logs from the designated devices are correctly transmitted, enabling the FortiAnalyzer to receive and process these logs efficiently. This connection setup is fundamental for log analysis, reporting, and management within the FortiAnalyzer system.

In contrast, creating a new user profile, disabling log retention policies, and archiving local logs for backup do not directly pertain to the process of fetching logs. These actions might be related to user management, data retention strategies, or backup processes, but they do not facilitate the actual retrieval of logs from devices to the FortiAnalyzer.
