Configuring FortiAnalyzer
FortiGate is configured to send logs to FortiAnalyzer.
When using Policy Analyzer MEA, you must log in to FortiAnalyzer to authorize use of the logs, and the administrative account must have JSON API access set to Read-Write to enable API communication between the products.
You must also enable HTTPS administrative access on the port used to communicate with FortiGate, and enter Authorization Address and Authorization Port information so that FortiOS can access the FortiAnalyzer login screen.
This section describes how to configure an administrator account to use with Policy Analyzer MEA.
