Fortigate Firewall (sFlow) Configuration

This document outlines the steps to configure Fortigate Firewall for sFlow flow export with ObserveOps Flow Explorer.

Configuration Steps

Configure the sFlow collector settings:

config system sflow
set source-ip <device ip>
set collector-ip {MOTADATA_SERVER_IP}
set collector-port 6343
end

Enable sFlow sampling on each interface:

config sys interface
edit {INTERFACE_NAME}
set sflow-sampler enable
set sample-rate 1000
set sample-direction both
set polling-interval 60
next
end

For VDOM environments, enable sFlow per VDOM:

config system vdom-sflow
set vdom-sflow enable
set collector-ip {MOTADATA_SERVER_IP}
set collector-port 6343
end

After completing the configuration, navigate to Menu > Flow Explorer and select Explorer to view the active flow data.
