FC-10-00306-188-02-DD Cloud Logging Record

FC-10-00306-188-02-DD is a historical FortiAnalyzer Cloud Base subscription for one existing FortiGate 300E. It provides cloud-based event and security-log management with IOC-oriented analysis; it does not include a FortiGate appliance, replacement hardware, a managed SOC or unrestricted log capacity.

Operational Validation

Treat the 300E as a network and security event source whose cloud logging path must survive management-plane and WAN changes. Build separate checks for system, VPN, policy and threat events, then prove that each event reaches the intended cloud tenant after a controlled reconnect. The acceptance record identifies the branch or campus owner, the FortiGate administrator and the person responsible for cloud retention.

A useful 300E acceptance exercise begins with a simple event-source map rather than a generic logging checkbox. Name the interfaces and policy paths that represent Internet access, remote access and internal segmentation, then select one harmless event from each path. Capture the device time, event identifier and cloud receipt time. Temporarily interrupt only the management route, preserve user traffic, and verify how queued records appear after restoration. Check that the analyst can distinguish a transport gap from a period with no activity. Finish by exporting a short evidence set and confirming that its owner can retrieve it without a firewall administrator sharing a privileged account. This model-specific record makes the page useful to a buyer planning operational acceptance, while avoiding unsupported performance or storage claims.

• Match the exact appliance serial, FortiCare account, tenant region and supported firmware.
• Define required event classes, daily volume, retention, reports, alerts, export and administrator roles.
• Run a controlled event, negative test, interrupted-upload recovery and evidence retrieval.
• Record current orderability, replacement SKU if required, owners, exceptions and renewal decision.

Commercial Boundary

Service code 188 belongs to a historical per-device ordering pattern. Confirm current orderability and the Fortinet-approved successor for the registered serial; do not treat a current FortiAnalyzer Cloud code as an automatic commercial replacement.

Fortinet documentation describes the base cloud service as a monitoring and alerting tier for event logs, security logs and IOC scans. Supported log classes and integrations vary by FortiAnalyzer Cloud and FortiOS release, so traffic-log ingestion, retention and reporting must be confirmed for the exact tenant before ordering or renewal.
