How-to: Create a YouTube report for the FortiAnalyzer

One of the new features of FortiOS 5.2 was the introduction of Cloud Application logging which allows you to track web application traffic like Youtube videos, email address logins and files uploaded/downloaded via Dropbox.

This quick how-to guide goes through creating a small chart that will only show us the YouTube videos that have been watched and the users that watched them.

This config is done a FortiAnalyzer running 5.2.2.

How-to: Configure DLP fingerprinting on a FortiGate

The following how-to guide will take you through the steps to configure DLP fingerprinting on the FortiGates.

Before we begin we need to confirm two things.

Firstly, the FortiGate model you are configuring has a storage drive. Models like the FG80C have no storage so DLP fingerprinting won't work.

Secondly DLP has been enabled in the web-gui. If it's not you can enable it via the CLI with the following commands:

config system global
set gui-dlp enable
end

For FortiGates running 5.2 you'll need to goto Security Profiles > Advanced > DLP Fingerprinting. If you're running 5.0 it will be found under Security Profiles > DLP > DLP Fingerprinting.
