Select , create a new virtual disk image, allocate your preferred storage pool volume size (e.g., 200 GB for analytical logs), and configure its bus type to VirtIO or SCSI .

: Automatically trigger a SOAR Playbook that connects back to the FortiGate to revert unauthorized changes or re-apply critical security policies. 2. Implementation Steps About FortiAnalyzer on KVM - Fortinet Document Library

The VM will automatically format the unassigned storage target and execute a clean system restart. Accessing the Web GUI and License Activation

Locate the downloaded .zip file on your administrative terminal or host machine and unpack the contents to isolate the virtual hard disk images:

: Use the Event Handler to monitor attribute-change logs. This prepares and mounts the additional disk for log storage

This prepares and mounts the additional disk for log storage.

After first boot, upload the license file via web GUI or CLI.

This extracts two core files: fortianalyzer.qcow2 (the system boot image) and a second template file used for configuring storage allocations. 2. Virtual Hardware Allocation Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine

Specifies the target hypervisor, Linux Kernel-based Virtual Machine , running FortiAnalyzer major operating system version 6 .

It’s essential to note that this file only contains the system hard disk. You must manually create a second virtual hard disk for logs. According to Fortinet's documentation, the log disk should be at least 500 GB.
