Which logging best practice involves remote server communication?

The practice of uploading FortiAnalyzer (FAZ) local logs to a remote server is crucial in logging best practices as it enhances data retention, backup, and the ability to perform analyses on historical data. By offloading local logs to a remote server, organizations can ensure that logs are protected against data loss due to device failure, accidental deletions, or other issues that might compromise local log integrity.

Additionally, having logs stored on a remote server centralizes log management, making it easier to search, aggregate, and correlate logs from multiple sources. This is particularly important for organizations needing to comply with regulations such as GDPR or PCI-DSS, which require secure log management and retention policies.

While increasing logging verbosity, daily log rotation, and configuring critical alerts are all important for maintaining a robust logging environment, they do not specifically address the aspect of ensuring that logs are properly communicated and stored on a remote server for long-term access and analysis.
