Which Fortinet device can generate logs aggregated by FortiAnalyzer?

The FortiGate device is specifically designed to generate logs that can be aggregated by FortiAnalyzer. As a next-generation firewall, FortiGate captures various types of data related to network traffic, security events, and application usage. This telemetry is essential for organizations to monitor their network activity, analyze security threats, and generate reports for compliance and operational insights.

When FortiGate devices send logs to FortiAnalyzer, the latter can aggregate and correlate this information, providing a centralized view of security posture and network performance. This is particularly valuable for incident response and trend analysis.

While other Fortinet devices like FortiAP, FortiManager, and FortiMail may also have logging capabilities, they typically focus on different aspects of network management, access points, or email security respectively, rather than serving as the primary source of network traffic logs intended for aggregation and detailed analysis in FortiAnalyzer.
