Any routing, network segmentation, cloud security groups, and other network access controls must allow outbound communication from all IDS appliances in the selected network to the firewall.Īlert Logic provides the following steps to help you create the connection. The IDS appliances in the selected network must be able to connect to the firewall using the TCP port selected, 443 by default. Choosing the network instead of a specific appliance prevents you from needing to update the connection as appliances are added to or removed from the network. You specify a network where the appliance is located, and Alert Logic chooses the appropriate appliance to connect to the specified hostname or IP address.

This connection also requires an Alert Logic IDS appliance. For more information, see Identify the Fortigate virtual domains you want to connect to. Virtual Domains-If your FortiGate is divided into multiple virtual domains (VDOMs), you need the names of the VDOMs you want Alert Logic to connect to.Alert Logic recommends that you set up a dedicated user, rather than use one that is shared by human users or other software integrations. Username and password-Administrative credentials of the user that allows Alert Logic to access your FortiGate.Host -Hostname or IP address of the FortiGate that you want Alert Logic to connect to.To create the connection, Alert Logic requires the following information about your FortiGate: A Fortinet FortiGate NGFW connection securely stores reusable authentication credential information for integrations between Alert Logic and your Fortinet FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW).
