For example, a company may have a headquarters and a number of branch
offices. Each branch office has a FortiGate unit and a FortiAnalyzer-100A/100B to
collect local log information. Those branch office FortiAnalyzer units are
configured as log aggregation clients. The headquarters has a
FortiAnalyzer-2000/2000A which is configured as a log aggregator. The log
aggregator collects logs from each of the branch office log aggregation clients,
enabling headquarters to run reports that reflect all offices.

All FortiAnalyzer models can be configured as a log aggregation client, but log
aggregation server support varies by FortiAnalyzer model, due to storage and
resource requirements.
Note: For more information about log aggregation port numbers, see the Knowledge
Center article Traffic Types and TCP/UDP Ports used by Fortinet Products.
