After configuring FortiAnalyzer settings, you can test the connection between the
FortiGate unit and the FortiAnalyzer unit to ensure the connection is working
correctly. This enables you to see the connection between the FortiGate unit and
the FortiAnalyzer unit including the settings specified for transmitting and
receiving logs, reports, content archive, and quarantine files between the
FortiGate unit and the FortiAnalyzer unit.
Note: Make sure the FortiGate unit learns the IP address of the FortiAnalyzer unit before
testing the connection between both units. A false test report failure may occur if you select
Test Connectivity before the FortiGate unit learns the FortiAnalyzer unit's IP address.
