Hi folks, here is the version of fortigate (aws)

I need to enable reliable syslog, this is how my syslog configuration looks like

FGTAWS000B061CCC (setting) # show
config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set server "ServerName"
    set port 7000
end
FGTAWS000B061CCC (setting) #

 

I tried to provide the command set reliable enable but does not work and get the below error:

 

FGTAWS000B061CCC # config log syslogd setting

FGTAWS000B061CCC (setting) # set reliable enable

command parse error before 'reliable'
Command fail. Return code -61

FGTAWS000B061CCC (setting) #

 

 

I was following this article https://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD32787 but seems like the way to setup the reliable flag is not working.

 

Thanks in advance.

Please enable reliable syslog on the sending side of syslog.

First enable the service (set status enable), then you can enable the reliable mode (set reliable enable).

 

config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set reliable enable
end
