Fix Recommendation

Obtain local audit list and enable event logging to match requirements within the list.
Log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege.

1. Open a CLI console, via SSH or available from the GUI.
2. Run the following command and set to enable any events that match a requirement in the local policy:
# config log setting
# set resolve-ip {enable | disable}
# set resolve-port {enable | disable}
# set log-user-in-upper {enable | disable}
# set fwpolicy-implicit-log {enable | disable}
# set fwpolicy6-implicit-log {enable | disable}
# set log-invalid-packet {enable | disable}
# set local-in-allow {enable | disable}
# set local-in-deny-unicast {enable | disable}
# set local-in-deny-broadcast {enable | disable}
# set local-out {enable | disable}
# set daemon-log {enable | disable}
# set neighbor-event {enable | disable}
# set brief-traffic-format {enable | disable}
# set user-anonymize {enable | disable}
# set expolicy-implicit-log {enable | disable}
# set log-policy-comment {enable | disable}
# set log-policy-name {enable | disable}
# end
# config log eventfilter
# set event {enable | disable}
# set system {enable | disable}
# set vpn {enable | disable}
# set user {enable | disable}
# set router {enable | disable}
# set wireless-activity {enable | disable}
# set wan-opt {enable | disable}
# set endpoint {enable | disable}
# set ha {enable | disable}
# set compliance-check {enable | disable}
# set security-rating {enable | disable}
# set fortiextender {enable | disable}
# set connector {enable | disable}

Check Contents

Log in to the FortiGate GUI with Super-Admin privilege.

1. Open a CLI console, via SSH or available from the GUI.
2. Run the following command:
# show full-configuration log setting

Compare the output to the locally developed list to ensure enabled events match the local list.

3. Run the following command:
# show full-configuration log eventfilter

Compare the output to the locally developed list to ensure enabled events match the local list.

If the FortiGate device does not generate log records for a locally developed list of auditable events, this is a finding.
