Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0 About logging

Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0This chapter contains valuable information about logging practices and what you need to consider before logging FortiGate features on your FortiGate unit. This chapter includes how logging affects system performance, what logging devices are appropriate for your logging setup, and solutions for ensuring that logs are not lost if a failure occurs with your logging device. Fortinet recommends reading this chapter when one or more of the following applies: • You are new to logging in general or new to logging using a FortiGate unit and log

device. • You are deciding on a log scenario for your network environment and need to know

what log devices are available for the FortiGate unit, including what FortiGate features would be best suited for your network traffic.

• You want to upgrade your current log scenario which may mean a new log device (such as a FortiGuard Analysis server)

• You need to create a new log scenario because the current one no longer meets your network’s means.

This chapter contains the following sections: • About logging• Logging FortiGate features• Log devices• Backup solutions for logging

About logging Logging is a valuable tool, providing insight into how to better protect the network traffic against attacks, including misuse and abuse. This valuable tool requires a plan so that you can properly configure logging for your particular network’s needs. This plan should provide you with an outline of what log requirements your network needs. You plan should cover: • what FortiGate features you want logged• the logging device best suited for your network• if you want or are required to archive log files• ensuring log files are not lost in the event a failure occurs (backup solution).Your plan should also include the following:• The FortiGate features you want to log. For more information, see “Logging FortiGate

features” on page 14. • The amount of storage space required to log the chosen FortiGate features. For

example, traffic logs cannot be stored in the FortiGate system memory because they are large files. For more information, see “Logging FortiGate features” on page 14.




Logging FortiGate features Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0

• The type of device appropriate for logging the chosen FortiGate features. If your organization/company requires reports compiled from log data, a FortiAnalyzer unit may be a better solution since it can create reports at scheduled times. For more information, see “Log devices” on page 14.

• A backup solution in the event your logging device becomes unavailable. For more information, see “Backup solutions for logging” on page 16.

Logging FortiGate featuresWhen you are deciding which FortiGate features should be logged, it is important to know what types of features are best suited for your logging requirements. For example, you want to archive only spam email messages and log VoIP, IM/P2P, event, and traffic logs. You also need to know if your logging device accepts the types of FortiGate features that you want log. For example, a FortiGuard Analysis server accepts all DLP archive logs, but a Syslog server does not. The backup solution must also fit with what you want to log. For example, you have enabled traffic, event and DLP archiving to log to a FortiAnalyzer unit with a Syslog server as a backup solution: a power failure occurs with the FortiAnalyzer unit and only traffic and event logs are sent to the Syslog server because DLP archives are not supported. The FortiGate unit can log eleven types of features. These types are: • traffic • event• Data Leak Prevention (DLP)• application control • antivirus• web filtering• attack (IPS)• spam filtering• DLP archiving (available only if connected to a FortiAnalyzer unit)If you have enabled and configured VDOMs on your FortiGate unit, you can enable logging of FortiGate features within each VDOM. The log message, whether recorded in a VDOM or not, provides what VDOM that log message was recorded in. For example, an event log recorded user_1 editing administrative profiles for user_23 in the vdom_hq. This type of detail provides you with additional help in tracking down and taking action against such things as misuse and abuse or attacks.

Log devicesLog devices provide a secure place to store and view generated log files; however, some these devices can also provide much more. For example, a FortiAnalyzer unit provides both archiving and reporting features.The following explains each of the supported log devices, including why that logging device may be a good idea for your network.

System memory The system memory on the FortiGate unit logs the following features: • Event log





Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0 Log devices

• Attack log• Antivirus log• Webfilter log• Spam log • Data Leak Prevention log• Application Control log• IM/P2P log• VoIP logSystem memory is limited; the system memory cannot log traffic or DLP archive logs because of their file size and occurrence; however, if you have a local disk, it can log traffic or DLP archive logs.If you configured system memory logging, these logs display in Log&Report > Log Access > Memory. System memory is a good log device when you only require logging a few FortiGate features or for small networks, such as a home business.

Local disk or AMC disksIf you configured local disk logging, these logs display in Log&Report > Log Access > Disk. This option is available only on FortiGate units with hard disks. If you have an AMC disk, you can enable uploading of log files to a FortiAnalyzer unit using the CLI.

Structured Query Language (SQL) database on a FortiGate unit’s hard disk

You can store logs within an SQL database if your FortiGate unit has a hard disk. This SQL database allows users to configure reports from the logs stored on the database. You need to enable the database from the CLI.

FortiAnalyzer unitThe FortiAnalyzer unit logs all FortiGate features and can also archive logs. If you also require creating reports from log data, the FortiAnalyzer unit provides a wide variety of reports. Reports contain log information that is presented in both graphical and tabular formats. Reports are a useful tool for reviewing what has occurred on your network in a daily, weekly, or monthly time period. Logs are accessed from either the web-based manager of the FortiAnalyzer unit or the web-based manager of the FortiGate unit (Log&Report > Log Access > Remote).You can configure up to three FortiAnalyzer units for logging FortiGate features; however, this is more of a redundant option than a back up solution. The FortiAnalyzer unit is perfect for large networks that require DLParchiving and reports.

FortiGuard Analysis server You can also configure logging to a FortiGuard Analysis server. The FortiGuard Analysis Service provides a server which you can configure a FortiGate unit to log FortiGate features to. The FortiGuard Analysis Service is a subscription-based service that provides logging and reporting capabilities previously only found on a FortiAnalyzer unit. You can log to a FortiGuard Analysis server if your FortiGate unit is running FortiOS 4.0 and higher.




Backup solutions for logging Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0

16

The FortiGuard Analysis server can log all FortiGate features including traffic logs, as well as full DLP archiving of all archival FortiGate features, such as email messages and FTP. You can also generate reports from the log data stored on the FortiGuard Analysis server. FortiGuard Analysis servers provide all the features of a FortiAnalyzer unit, but without having an actual, physical FortiAnalyzer unit. This service provides an easy, maintenance-free environment for logging and is best for those networks that are growing or administrators who may not have a lot of experience with logging with a FortiGate unit. The FortiGuard Analysis server can be used in all types of networks, large or small.

Syslog serverThe Syslog server can log all FortiGate features, including content logs and VoIP logs. You can also configure up to three Syslog servers to log all FortiGate features. Configuring three Syslog servers is more of a redundant solution, than a back up solution.Syslog servers are useful in any network setup, large or small. If you require reports (which are generated from log data), you need to log to a FortiAnalyzer unit or FortiGuard Analysis server.

NetIQ WebTrends serverThe NetIQ WebTrends server logs all FortiGate features, except DLP archive. You can configure only one NetIQ WebTrends server to log FortiGate features. A NetIQ WebTrends server is useful in any network setup, large or small.

Backup solutions for loggingYou need to have a backup solution, or backup plan, in the event the logging device becomes unavailable. If you decide not to include a backup solution when you begin logging, log files may be lost if the logging device becomes unavailable. The following are backup solutions for various logging devices. The FortiGuard Analysis Service has several secondary FortiGuard Analysis servers configured as backup servers in the event the FortiGuard Analysis server that is storing your log files becomes unavailable. The FortiGuard Analysis service does not require a backup solution because the secondary servers provide the backup solution you may need if the FortiGuard Analysis server your FortiGate unit is logging to becomes unavailable.

FortiGate units with hard disks and AMC hard disksYou can use the hard disk, if available, to log to a FortiAnalyzer unit with buffering to the hard disk by the configuring this in the CLI. For more information, see the FortiGate CLI Reference. You can configure the AMC hard disk on the FortiGate unit, if available, to store logs including DLP archives and then upload these logs to a FortiAnalyzer unit on a daily basis. You can also schedule when to upload these logs from the AMC disk to the FortiAnalyzer unit.

Note: If you have not already upgraded to FortiOS 4.0, you can still subscribe to the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service so that you can configure your FortiGate unit to log to a FortiGuard Analysis server; however, certain FortiOS 3.0 maintenance releases do not contain all the available features that the current FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service version supports.





Logging practices in FortiOS 4.0 Backup solutions for logging

FortiAnalyzer unit A backup solution to a FortiAnalyzer unit may be a Syslog server or NetIQ WebTrends server. You could use a FortiGuard Analysis server as a backup solution to a FortiAnalyzer unit as well.

Syslog server You can configure up to three Syslog servers for ensuring logs are not lost when a failure occurs. When the FortiGate unit logs to all three Syslog servers, all three Syslog servers receive the same logs. This ensures logs are available at all times.

NetIQ WebTrends server backup solution You can log to the FortiGate system memory or hard disk, as a backup solution when logging FortiGate features to a NetIQ WebTrends server.

Configuring log devices

Configuring log devicesIn your log plan, you chose a log device to meet your log requirements. This section helps you to configure the log device you chose, including how to configure multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers. This section also includes how to log to a FortiGuard Analysis server, which is available if subscribed to the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service. If you need to configure multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers, see “Logging to multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers” on page 24 to configure these devices. The FortiGate unit supports logging to a variety of log devices, including the FortiGuard Analysis server. This provides greater flexibility when logging requirements change. The log devices that the FortiGate unit supports are: • FortiGate system memory• Hard disk or AMC• SQL database (for FortiGate units that have a hard disk)• FortiAnalyzer unit• FortiGuard Analysis server (part of the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service)• Syslog server• NetIQ WebTrends serverThis chapter contains the following sections: • Logging to the FortiGate unit’s system memory• Logging to the FortiGate unit’s hard disk• Logging to a FortiAnalyzer unit• Logging to a FortiGuard Analysis server• Logging to a Syslog server• Logging to a WebTrends server• Logging to multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers

Note: All log entries are cleared from the FortiGate unit system memory when the FortiGate unit restarts.

In FortiOS 4.0 MR1, the size of a log file is reduced. This provides more room for storing large amounts of log files on log devices as well as on the FortiGate unit. If you currently have a scheduled uploading or rolling of log files, you may need to re-schedule because of the reduced size. For example, logs rolled every two months, now need to be rolled every four months.




Logging to the FortiGate unit’s system memory Configuring log devices

20

Logging to the FortiGate unit’s system memoryThe FortiGate system memory has a limited capacity for log messages. The system memory displays recent log entries and stores most log types except traffic and content logs. The FortiGate system memory cannot store traffic and content logs because of their size and frequency of log entries. When the system memory is full, the FortiGate unit overwrites the oldest messages. All log entries stored in system memory are cleared when the FortiGate unit restarts.

To configure the FortiGate unit to save logs in memory1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Setting. 2 Expand Local Logging & Archiving.3 Select the check box beside Memory. 4 Select a log level from the Minimum log level list. 5 Select Apply.

The FortiGate unit logs all messages at and above the logging severity level you select. For more information on log severity levels, see “Log severity levels” on page 29.

Logging to the FortiGate unit’s hard diskIf your FortiGate unit contains a hard disk, you can configure the FortiGate unit to store logs on the disk. You can configure logging to the FortiGate unit’s hard disk from Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings. When you are configuring to log to a hard disk, you can also configure a schedule to upload those logs to either a FortiAnalyzer unit, if the hard disk is AMC.

Figure 1: Log configuration settings on a FortiGate unit with a hard disk

To log to the hard disk on a FortiGate unit1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings. 2 Expand Remote Logging & Archiving to reveal the available options. 3 Select the check box beside for Buffer to hard disk and upload. 4 To log to an AMC hard disk, select the check box beside Log to AMC Hard Disk &

Upload to FortiAnalyzer.





Configuring log devices Logging to a FortiAnalyzer unit

Logging to the FortiGate unit’s SQL database If your FortiGate unit has a hard disk and is running FortiOS 4.0 MR1, then you can send logs to the SQL database. You must first set up the SQL database before configuring the FortiGate unit to log to it. The following assumes that you have already logged in to the web-based manager. If you want to configure logging to an SQL database using the CLI, see the FortiGate CLI Reference.

To log to an SQL database1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings. 2 Under Local Logging & Archiving, select the check box beside Disk. 3 Select a log level from the Minimum log level list. 4 Select one of the following in the When log disk is full list:

5 Enter a maximum number (in MB) that the log file should not exceed in the Log file should not exceed field.

6 To roll log files on a daily basis, select Daily in the Log files should be rolled list, and then specify a time.

7 To roll log files on a weekly basis, select Weekly in the Log files should be rolled list, select a week day, and then enter the time when the log file will roll.

8 Select SQL as the log format you want for each of the available logs under Log Storage Format.

9 Select Apply.

Logging to a FortiAnalyzer unitA FortiAnalyzer unit can log all FortiGate features that are available for logging, including DLP archiving. The following procedure assumes that you have only one FortiAnalyzer unit to configure. If you are configuring more than one, you must configuring the other FortiAnalyzer units in the CLI.

Testing the FortiAnalyzer configurationAfter configuring FortiAnalyzer settings, you can test the connection between the FortiGate unit and the FortiAnalyzer unit to ensure the connection is working properly. This enables you to view the connection settings between the FortiGate unit and the FortiAnalyzer unit. To test the connection between your FortiGate unit and the FortiAnalyzer unit, go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings, and under Remote Logging & Archiving select Test Connectivity beside the IP/FQDN field.

Connecting to a FortiAnalyzer unit using Automatic DiscoveryAutomatic Discovery is a method of establishing a connection to a FortiAnalyzer unit by using the FortiGate unit to find a FortiAnalyzer unit on the network. The Fortinet Discovery Protocol (FDP) is used to locate the FortiAnalyzer unit. Both units must be on the same subnet to use FDP, and they must also be able to connect using UDP. When you select Automatic Discovery, the FortiGate unit uses HELLO packets to locate any FortiAnalyzer units that are available on the network within the same subnet. When the FortiGate unit discovers the FortiAnalyzer unit, the FortiGate unit automatically enables logging to the FortiAnalyzer unit and begins sending log data.

To connect to a FortiAnalyzer unit using Automatic Discovery1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings. 2 Under Remote Logging & Archiving, in FortiAnalyzer, select Automatic Discovery.3 If in Transparent mode, select an interface from the Interface list. 4 If available, select a FortiAnalyzer unit from the Connect To list when a FortiAnalyzer

unit is discovered. 5 Select Discover. 6 When you select Discover in Transparent mode, a warning displays. Select OK to

continue. If your FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, the interface using the automatic discovery feature will not carry traffic. For more information about how to enable the interface to also carry traffic when using the automatic discovery feature, see the Fortinet Knowledge Base article, Fortinet Discovery Protocol in Transparent mode.

Logging to a FortiGuard Analysis serverYou can configure logging to a FortiGuard Analysis server after registering for the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service. The following procedure assumes that you have already configured the service account ID in System > Maintenance > FortiGuard.

To log to a FortiGuard Analysis server1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Settings. 2 Expand Remote Logging & Archiving to reveal the available options. 3 Select the check box beside FortiGuard. 4 Enter the account ID in the Account ID field.

Note: The FortiGate unit searches within the same subnet for a response from any available FortiAnalyzer units.

Logging to multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog serversFortiOS 4.0 allows you to configure multiple FortiAnalyzer units or multiple Syslog servers, ensuring that all logs are not lost in the event one of them fails. You can configure multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers within the CLI. You should review the FortiGate CLI Reference before proceeding because the reference document provides detailed explanations on all the CLI commands used in the following procedures.

Configuring multiple FortiAnalyzer unitsFortinet recommends that you contact a FortiAnalyzer administrator first, to verify that the IP addresses of the FortiAnalyzer units you want to send logs to are correct and that all FortiAnalyzer units are currently installed with FortiAnalyzer 4.0 firmware. If VDOMs are enabled, you can configure multiple FortiAnalyzer units or Syslog servers for each VDOM. For more information, see the FortiGate CLI Reference.The following procedure does not contain how to enable logging of FortiGate features within the CLI. Use the FortiGate CLI Reference (the config log section) to enable which FortiGate features to log.

To enable logging to multiple FortiAnalyzer units1 Log in to the CLI. 2 Enter the following commands:

Logging in FortiOS 4.0 Log severity levels

Log severity levelsYou can define what severity level the FortiGate unit records logs at when configuring the logging location. The FortiGate unit logs all message at and above the logging severity level you select. For example, if you select Error, the unit logs Error, Critical, Alert, and Emergency level messages.

The Debug severity level, not shown in Table 4, is rarely used. It is the lowest log severity level and usually contains some firmware status information that is useful when the FortiGate unit is not functioning properly. Debug log messages are only generated if the log severity level is set to Debug. Debug log messages are generated by all types of FortiGate features.

Enabling logging of FortiGate featuresWithin FortiOS 4.0, there are many different logs you can enable. Depending on what you choose to log, you need to enable them in various locations within the web-based manager. This section describes where you enable logging for each log type. This topic includes the following: • Firewall policy traffic logging• Event logging• Data Leak Prevention logging• Application control logging• Antivirus logging• Web Filter logging• Attack logging• Spam filter logging• DLP archiving

Configuring an alert email message Logging in FortiOS 4.0

34

Configuring an alert email messageYou can use the Alert Email feature to monitor logs for log messages, and to send email notification about a specific activity or event logged. For example, if you require notification about administrators logging in and out, you can configure an alert email that is sent whenever an administrator logs in and out. You can also base alert email messages on the severity levels of the logs. Before configuring alert email, you must configure at least one DNS server if you are configuring with an Fully Qualified Domain Server (FQDN). The FortiGate unit uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server, and must look up this name on your DNS server. You can also specify an IP address. To configure an alert email message, go to Log&Report > Log Config > Alert E-mail, enter the information for the SMTP server, and then select Apply. Choose one of the following:• If you want an alert email message sent based on log severity, select Send alert email

for logs based on severity, and then select a minimum log level. • If you want an alert email message sent based on specific activities, such as an

administrator logging in or out, select Send alert email for the following and then select the check boxes beside the available options.

To verify the alert email message can be sent to the recipient, select Test Connectivity. This test can be done at anytime after configuring the SMTP server information.

FortiGate log messages Explanation of log messages

FortiGate log messagesFortiGate log messages present detailed accounts of an event or activity that happened on your network recorded by the FortiGate unit. These log messages provide valuable information about your network that inform you about attacks, misuse and abuse, and traffic activity. The following information provides explanations for each type of log message in FortiOS 4.0 MR1. If you require more information about FortiGate log messages than this technical note provides, see the FortiGate Log Message Reference on the Technical Documentation web site. This chapter contains the following sections: • Explanation of log messages• Traffic log messages• Event log messages• DLP Archive logs• Antivirus log messages• WebFilter log messages• Attack log messages• Antispam log messages• DLP log message• Application control log message

Explanation of log messages The following log messages are explained in detail and are all recorded in FortiOS 4.0 MR1. Each field of each log message is clearly outlined and explained. If you need additional information about specific log messages, see the FortiGate Log Message Reference. Before proceeding, you should be aware of the two parts that make up a log message: the header and the body. The header is the beginning part of a log message and includes key information about that specific log message, such as the date and time of when it was recorded. The following is an example of a log header: 2009-07-10 12:55:06 devname=FGT50B3G06500085 device_id=FGT50B3G06500085 log_id=0021010001 type=traffic subtype=allowed pri=notice vd=root fwver=041000

The rest of the log message is the log body, which includes the log message. The log message body contains specific information for that specific log type and subtype.

Configuring reports in FortiOS 4.0 Configuring reports

Configuring reports in FortiOS 4.0You can configure a variety of reports in FortiOS 4.0 and higher. Reports help you to better analyze the activity that is occurring on your network by using graphs or tables. In FortiOS 4.0 MR1, you can configure reports from logs stored on an SQL database. This chapter contains the following sections: • Configuring reports• Viewing FortiAnalyzer reports

Configuring reportsA report is a collection of log information, which is then displayed in the report in the form of text, graphs and tables. This provides a clear, concise overview of the activities on your network without manually going through large amounts of log messages. If you have configured logging to a FortiAnalyzer unit, you will only be able to configure a report schedule on the FortiGate side. You need to verify with the FortiAnalyzer administrator that a report layout is available for you to use with the report schedule; a report schedule requires a report layout. If you have configured logging to an SQL database, you can configure report widgets which are very similar to the Top Viruses or Traffic History widgets that display on System > Dashboard. You cannot customize the type of graph or table that appears in the report widget.

Configuring basic traffic reports (FortiGate system memory only)If a FortiGate unit is collecting logs in its system memory, you can configure and then view a basic traffic report in Log & Report > Report Access > Memory. These reports get log information from various system memory logs, such as VoIP and accessed web sites.

Note: You can configure reports from logs stored on a FortiAnalyzer unit, FortiGate system memory, or an SQL database. Configuring reports from other log devices, such as a Syslog server, are not supported.

Figure 4: A basic traffic report displaying only Browsing, DNS and Email log information over the last three days

When you go to the Memory page, there are two reports that appear on the page, Bandwidth Protocols and Top Protocols Ordered by Total Volume. The first report, Bandwidth Protocols, is the report that you can configure. The second report, Top Protocols Ordered by Total Volume, displays traffic volume and does not update when you configure Bandwidth Protocols report. When you go to another page in the web-based manager, the settings on the Memory page go back to default; the basic traffic report that you configured is not saved on the FortiGate unit’s system memory. To configure a basic traffic report, go to Log&Report > Report Access > Memory, and select a time period from the Time Period list. Select the check boxes beside the options (such as Email) that you do not want included in the graph, and then select Apply.






Figure 5: Default basic report on the Memory page

Time Period Select a time range to view for the graphical analysis. You can choose from one day, three days, one week, or one month. The default day is 1 day. When you refresh your browser or go to different menu, the settings revert back to default.

Services By default all services are selected. When you refresh your browser or go to a different menu, all services revert to default settings. Clear the check boxes beside the services you do not want to include in the graphical analysis:• Browsing• DNS• Email• FTP• Gaming• Instant Messaging• Newsgroups• P2P• Streaming • TFTP • VoIP• Generic TCP • Generic UDP• Generic ICMP• Generic IP

Configuring FortiAnalyzer reportsFortiAnalyzer reports are configured on a FortiAnalyzer unit; however, you can configure a report schedule from the FortiGate unit in Log&Report > Report Config > Schedule. You need to have a report layout when configuring a report schedule. Report layouts are configured only on the FortiAnalyzer unit. If you want to configure a report schedule based on another report schedule, you can clone the report schedule. Cloning a report schedule produces a duplicate of the original and then editing that duplicate to create a new schedule. To configure a report schedule, go to Log&Report > Report Config > Schedule, select Create New, and enter the information needed for that report schedule. The report schedule may take some time, depending on the amount of log data needed and if there are other reports being generated on the FortiAnalyzer unit. To clone a report schedule, go to Log&Report > Report Config > Schedule, select Clone in the same row of the report schedule that will be the basis of the new report schedule, and then rename it. For example, CloneOfFGT_50B. Enter the information for that schedule and then select OK.

Bandwidth Per Service

This bar graph is based on what services you select, and is updated when you select Apply. The graph is based on date and time, which is the current date and time.
