Which types of logs are collected by FortiAnalyzer?

FortiAnalyzer is designed to aggregate, analyze, and manage log data from Fortinet devices and services. The selection of traffic, event, and security logs reflects the primary function of FortiAnalyzer in a network security context.

Traffic logs capture details about the flow of network traffic, which is essential for understanding usage patterns, bandwidth, and threats. Event logs provide context for specific occurrences, including alerts on anomalies or changes within the network, helping in troubleshooting and monitoring. Security logs highlight security-related events such as attempted breaches, policy violations, and other security incidents, providing important data for incident response and forensics.

The combination of these log types in FortiAnalyzer enables comprehensive analysis and reporting capabilities, ensuring organizations can effectively monitor their security posture, track network behavior, and respond to incidents. Other options, while they may involve logging within different contexts or systems, do not encompass the main log types that FortiAnalyzer specifically focuses on for effective security management and reporting.
