Question. Only one Syslog server can be configured on the Forti interface. How to handle it if the slot is already occupied?

An additional Syslog server can be configured via the CLI command line.

Detailed steps: Access the CLI first, then run the "end" command to exit Global mode.
Configure the new syslog server line by line as shown in the figure below:

config log syslogd2 setting
    set status enable
    set server "10.10.10.10"  //Replace with Broker IP
    set mode udp
    set port 514
End

Finally, run get log syslogd2 setting to view the configuration results (the configuration will not be displayed on the UI page)

Once the GUI slots are filled, additional Syslog servers are configured via the CLI (note that FortiOS versions support multiple Syslog destinations).
