Display FortiGate Policy Name or Comments in FortiAnalyzer Logs

By default, the FortiGate does not send the Policy Name or Comments from the policies in logs to FortiAnalyzer or any remote logging server. This makes troubleshooting more difficult.

You must turn this setting on manually from the Fortigate CLI:

config log setting 
set log-policy-comment enable
set log-policy-name enable 
end
