available FortiAnalyzer units.

Note: If your FortiGate unit is in Transparent mode, the interface using the automatic
discovery feature will not carry traffic. Use the Fortinet Knowledge center article, Fortinet
Discovery Protocol in Transparent mode, to enable the interface to also carry traffic when
using the automatic discovery feature.
Testing the FortiAnalyzer configuration
After configuring FortiAnalyzer settings, test the connection between the FortiGate
unit and FortiAnalyzer unit to verify both devices are communicating properly.
When testing the connection, specific settings for transmitting and receiving logs,
reports, content archive and quarantine files display.
The FortiGate unit must learn the IP address of the FortiAnalyzer unit before
testing the connection. A false test report failure may occur if testing the
connection before the FortiGate unit learns the IP address of the FortiAnalyzer
unit.
To test the connection
1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Setting.
2 Select the blue arrow for FortiAnalyzer to expand the options.
3 Select Test Connectivity.
