    Step 8 - Fortigate Overview

    FortiGate firewalls provide advanced network security features for enterprise environments,
    protecting against cyber threats and unauthorized access. To effectively monitor and analyze
    network activity, it is essential to have a reliable and efficient log management solution. Filebeat,
    a popular open-source shipping tool, is widely used to send logs from FortiGate firewalls to
    various destinations, including Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana, due to its reliability and
    minimal memory footprint.

    Filebeat, which is written in Go, combines key features from Logstash-Forwarder and
    Lumberjack to generate, parse, tail, and forward common logs within the logging pipeline to be
    indexed within Elasticsearch. Filebeat is the most popular way to send logs to ELK, out of the
    entire collection of open-source shipping tools, including Auditbeat, Metricbeat, and Heartbeat.
    Earlier versions of Filebeat only allowed users to send events to Logstash and Elasticsearch, but
    recent updates to the shipper have made it compatible with Redis & Kafka.
    Sending logs from FortiGate firewalls to Filebeat is a simple process that involves configuring
    the firewall to forward logs to a syslog server. Once the logs are received by the syslog server,
    Filebeat can be used to collect and forward log data to Elasticsearch or other destinations.

    Filebeat provides a filebeat.yml wizard that helps users avoid complex logging concerns, such as
    large registry files and frequent errors encountered when handling deleted or renamed log files.
    Users can also consider our Hosted ELK service to simplify tracking numerous pipelines using
    this shipper.

    In summary, Filebeat is an essential tool for efficiently managing log data from FortiGate
    firewalls. Its reliability, minimal memory footprint, and compatibility with various destinations
    make it a popular choice for many organizations. To ensure effective log management and
    analysis, users should consider configuring FortiGate firewalls to forward logs to Filebeat and
    taking advantage of the shipper's advanced features.
