To send log messages from a Fortinet Fortigate Firewall to TLC, you may configure the firewall with the Fortigate user interface or a command line.
To configure the firewall from a command line:
| 1. | Connect to the Fortigate device via Telnet or SSH. |
| 2. | Log in to the device with an account that has administrator rights. |
| 3. | In a command line, enter the following commands: |

config log syslogd setting
set status enable
set server "<tlc_manager>"
set csv enable
set facility local1
set port 514
end
config log syslogd filter

end
end
Where:
tlc_manager is the IP address of the Manager to which the firewall will forward log messages.
local1 is the facility of the log messages to be sent to the Manager.
