What component settings are critical to establish when logging is enabled to Fortianalyzer?

Enabling logging to FortiAnalyzer is a crucial step in managing and analyzing network security data. Among the various settings, the remote logging and archiving settings are fundamental because they directly influence how logs are transmitted and stored by FortiAnalyzer.

By properly configuring the remote logging and archiving settings, you ensure that logs from devices are sent to the FortiAnalyzer for analysis, which facilitates real-time monitoring, reporting, and long-term storage. This setup allows organizations to efficiently manage their logs, conduct audits, and maintain compliance with security policies and regulations.

Additionally, effective configuration of these settings can include specifying the destination for logs, the logging level (which controls the verbosity of logs), and defining archiving policies that determine how long logs should be retained. Given that these settings directly impact the logging process's efficacy and reliability, they are essential for a well-functioning FortiAnalyzer deployment.
