FGFW-ND-000090 - The FortiGate device must generate audit records when concurrent logons from different workstations occur

Information

Without generating audit records specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Solution

When Event Logging is enabled, the device will audit concurrent logons from different workstations. To enable event logging, 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:

# config log eventfilter
# set event enable
# set system enable
# end
