Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct process that caches logs when FortiAnalyzer is not reachable is:
B. miglogd
The miglogd (Log Migration Daemon) process on FortiGate devices is responsible for caching logs locally when FortiAnalyzer is unavailable and then forwarding them to FortiAnalyzer once connectivity is restored. This helps ensure log data integrity even when the central logging server is temporarily inaccessible.
When FortiAnalyzer is unavailable, FortiGate uses the miglogd process to cache logs locally. This ensures that log data is not lost during periods of connectivity issues. Once FortiAnalyzer becomes reachable again, the logs stored by miglogd are sent to FortiAnalyzer for further processing and storage.
