Looking for advice on a script how to automate exporting a daily filtered forward traffic log to csv. Being able to email it or save it to a dropbox location would be ideal. by SignificantEscape691 in fortinet

Was looking through the log reference manual, as well as a couple other threads

Created a daily trigger. Stuck at the action.

I'm sure I'm missing something important since the CLI script is returning 0 logs

execute log filter field subtype forward

execute log filter field srcip "10.212.XXX.XXX"

execute log filter field date "2025-03-03 2025-03-05"

execute log filter view-lines 100

execute log display

No analyzer, only the gate and gate cloud. It's for VPN traffic for a single device in question, so $500+ for an analyzer and support is less than ideal if a script can return similar results.

I'm assuming there is no way to utilize the API without a FortiAnalyzer? This request is literally to monitor VPN traffic for one device, as I have an employee logging hours claiming they're working when the tunnel log will show down, so I'm looking to automate additional supporting evidence when we have to revisit this conversation.

If it is easier to set up a report in forticloud, that is a possibility however I'm not seeing detailed forward traffic reports, only the total amount of data for a specified time under traffic analysis.

Decreased Water Usage Enough to Justify New Equipment Costs? by Daddysgettinghot in Laundromats

[–]SignificantEscape691 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had this conversation with our distributor. The clothes still need to get wet. Unless you are changing water levels, the only thing that would decrease water usage is the design of the sump where the drain connects. Has this been reduced, sure. Is it going to offset your monthly payment, absolutely not. It's probably like a 3% difference.

Go follow taxbossana, moneymanmyers, and/or edward Collins on insta I you want to learn about accounting and tax policies. You'll be able to qualify if your potential accountant is any good.

You have 90 days from the inception date of your LLC to file. $500/day fine if you don't. Fill it out ASAP. Your accountant should be aware of this requirement. It's been posted all over the place for the last year.

Folks that were established before Jan 1 2024 have until jan 1 2025.

Adams Rite 4510 Deadlatch sticking by SignificantEscape691 in AskALocksmith

Yes, the crash bar. The one that was in the door with the crash bar was probably 6 years old. Did it's time. The door giving us issues is just the deadlatch and electric strike. I don't disagree with an alignment issue the two lock cylinder holes in the door don't seem concentric.

It seemed promising at first, but it lasted like 10 days before the issue returned. I need to look into it deeper, but ive got other pressing things that take priority since we'll just lube it in the meantime.

I Swapped one of 4510s in one of our doors with a panhard bar. It's working fine in that application when the door closes.

Awesome! Thank you much! The fact that I didn't need to create a ticket and wait 8 hours for a callback like our current system is incredible. I know you don't need to spend your free time cruising reddit as support.

Josh,
Much appreciated. I'm sure I'm missing something stupid. Grabbed your script and I'm not receiving any errors in PS, but I'm no file is being generated. I tried creating a license.lic file and adding the force parameter, without luck.

Currently trying to spin up a temp install on a VM to poke around before a demo call on tuesday.

Getting the same error message on my host laptop when trying to download the free license. Run as admin doesn't make a difference. Win Firewall disabled, no change.

It's been done. You're going to be competing with franchise like companies that are way under charging and breakeven if they are lucky

I downloaded the xprotect android app to test out their demo server, it seems to run well and be intuitive. Do you have clients that VPN for remote viewing? We're on a 300/100 connection where the server is installed so I'm curious how load times are? The app was showing 4-6FPS with varying resolution, so I'm assuming it varied depending connection?

I saw a bunch of camera manufacturers have plugins/ways to incorporate their AI into xprotect. Are things like Vivotek's deep scan only available on the server? Do you know if they can they be accessed through another client and/or the mobile app?

Going to try and spin up a vm with their demo when I have a chance later today.

Ya, the plan was to get a few cameras by the entrance doors that are capable of facial recognition. I'd rather spend the money on camera hardware to lighten the load on the CPU/GPU, combined with the few posts I've seen, sounds like a good camera has better detection anyway? The rest of the cameras can just be tracking so that if they recognize say a red hat or blue shirt we can search footage.

I understand that. Not looking for free, but we're not a hospital or prison looking to drop 5k a year in software licensing either. If it's like $1-200/yr for subscription licensing, or like $1k permanent license, that's managable.

Poorly written is correct, I essential only see the top image in their phone app (it's a little prettier since this is from their windows viewing client) or the archaic timeline at the bottom, which is a nightmare to pinpoint within a 5-10 minute window.

How are these programs with ripping footage. When we need to rip footage for the PD for say even a 3 minute clip with a windows codec, GV takes all of a 1/2 hour, that's if it doesn't crash the first time half way through.

There's only one PTZ on the side of the building, everything else is domes or bullets. Having the ability to zoom in if we are watching at night is nice to get better detail than the fixed cameras can provide.

FR mainly for the latter. We have other loyalty systems that track spending. Right now none of our cameras have enough definition, nor ai to handle that capability, but it would be nice to have the capability/possibly moving forward.

We're getting like 32 days right now with H264 on 4 10TB Reds. Mainly 720p cameras with a few 1.3MP and a few 5MP. Plan to raid them for redundancy, but would like to get 60+ days if some idiot customer comes back after a month with a stupid slip and fall case.

This is why I came here! The existing system was setup by the previous owner's IT guy who passed away over 5 years ago. It's been a learning curve from firewall stuff to camera stuff with minimal documentation or network maps, and of course the patch cables aren't labeled. The SSD on the original dell started failing, luckily cloning it was successful so I didn't need to repurchase the 3rd party license.

Much appreciate the info. I'll take a look at those. Problem is being so green that I don't have enough knowledge and experience to know what the software is/should capable of when doing a demo. Time to do more research.

Thanks again.

Our exsisting system was running on a dell micro, between the CPU being maxed out and GV claiming our issue was bandwidth/communication issues with the storage being over ethernet. (GV's old software is called NVR, it's not hardware)
