What does content archiving in FortiAnalyzer provide?

Content archiving in FortiAnalyzer offers a mechanism to simultaneously log and archive copies of data that are being transmitted over the network. This functionality is vital for organizations that require long-term retention of their log data for compliance, analysis, or security purposes. By capturing these logs, FortiAnalyzer ensures that administrators can review historical data, conduct forensic analysis, and maintain records that can help in audits or investigations.

Choices that suggest limited functionality, such as solely storing device configurations, generating reports for archived data, or monitoring live traffic, do not encapsulate the comprehensive role of content archiving. Instead, they focus on narrower aspects of logging or configuration management, which do not address the primary function of content archiving in capturing and preserving significant volumes of network interactions in a structured and accessible manner.
