To collect data from non-Azure VMs, they must have Azure Arc installed and enabled. [Learn more](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-install?tabs=ARMAgentPowerShell,PowerShellWindows,PowerShellWindowsArc,CLIWindows,CLIWindowsArc)
Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA and Syslog via AMA data connectors must be installed [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/sentinel/connect-cef-ama#open-the-connector-page-and-create-the-dcr)
Instructions du connecteur
Contenu publié dans le dépôt. Consultez le fichier original pour l’ensemble des paramètres.
1. Kindly follow the steps to configure the data connector
Step A. Configure the Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA data connector
_Note:- CEF logs are collected only from Linux Agents_
1. Navigate to Microsoft Sentinel workspace ---> configuration ---> Data connector blade .
2. Search for 'Common Event Format (CEF) via AMA' data connector and open it.
3. Check If there is no existing DCR configured to collect required facility of logs, Create a new DCR (Data Collection Rule)
_Note:- It is recommended to install minimum 1.27 version of AMA agent [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/agents/azure-monitor-agent-manage?tabs=azure-portal ) and ensure there is no duplicate DCR as it can cause log duplicacy_
4. Run the command provided in the CEF via AMA data connector page to configure the CEF collector on the machine
Step B. Forward Fortinet logs to Syslog agent
Set your Fortinet to send Syslog messages in CEF format to the proxy machine. Make sure you to send the logs to port 514 TCP on the machine’s IP address.
Copy the CLI commands below and:
- Replace "server <ip address>" with the Syslog agent's IP address.
- Set the "<facility_name>" to use the facility you configured in the Syslog agent (by default, the agent sets this to local4).
- Set the Syslog port to 514, the port your agent uses.
- To enable CEF format in early FortiOS versions, you may need to run the command "set csv disable".
For more information, go to the [Fortinet Document Library](https://aka.ms/asi-syslog-fortinet-fortinetdocumentlibrary), choose your version, and use the "Handbook" and "Log Message Reference" PDFs.

Set up the connection using the CLI to run the following commands:
Step C. Validate connection
Follow the instructions to validate your connectivity:
Open Log Analytics to check if the logs are received using the CommonSecurityLog schema.
It may take about 20 minutes until the connection streams data to your workspace.
If the logs are not received, run the following connectivity validation script:
1. Make sure that you have Python on your machine using the following command: python -version
2. You must have elevated permissions (sudo) on your machine
Run the following command to validate your connectivity:
2. Secure your machine
Make sure to configure the machine's security according to your organization's security policy
