3. Complete the following options, and click OK.
   • Enter a name for the cloud storage.
   • In the Cloud Storage Connector list, select a Fabric Connector.

Certificates required for cloud storage

Before logs can be uploaded to cloud storage using Amazon S3, Azure Blob, or Google connectors, the cloud provider's CA certificate(s) must be imported into FortiAnalyzer.

Third-party CA certificates, for example GlobalSign and CyberTrust, may be required. Check with your cloud storage provider to see which CA certificates are supported.

For information on how to import certificates into FortiAnalyzer, see CA certificates.
