Study Notes
FortiGate Devices
- Generate syslog, native, and CSV log types
- Do not generate snmptrap, common event format (CEF), and netflow log types
FortiWeb
- Generates security, system, and performance log subtypes
FortiMail
- Collects email log type
Log Type Compatibility
- Native log type is used for compatibility with older FortiGate devices or non-Fortinet devices
FortiCache
- Collects web, ftp, and video log types
FortiAnalyzer
- Displays syslog, native, CSV, snmptrap, CEF, and netflow log types
- Collects logs from FortiGate devices
- Log types displayed depend on the device type logging to FortiAnalyzer
FortiAnalyzer Fabric
- Root device is the supervisor in the FortiAnalyzer Fabric
- Supervisor allows SOC administrators to view incident and event information
- Incident and event information is synced from members to the supervisor in real-time
- Fabric members are FortiAnalyzers that are part of the fabric
- Fabric supervisors can have high-availability configuration
- All FortiAnalyzer Fabric members and the supervisor must have the same time zone and NTP settings
Administrative Domains (A-doms)
- Purpose is to group FortiAnalyzer devices into logical domains for administrative and security purposes
- Not enabled by default in the FortiAnalyzer Fabric
- Allow to create separate administrative domains for different teams or organizations
- Purpose is to limit access to log data and configuration
Virtual Domains (V-doms)
- Purpose is to separate log data and configuration for different customers or organizations
- Are logical domains that can be created within an administrative domain
Log Configuration and Management
- Can be configured using the GUI, CLI, and API tools
- Help determine the source of security incidents and troubleshoot issues
- Centralized log storage is important for security, compliance, and troubleshooting
- One challenge of monitoring logs is the sheer volume of log data
- Logging levels should be set based on the environment and security requirements
- Can be used as evidence in cases of unauthorized or illegal activity
- Help track user activity, system events, and security incidents
