Local FortiGate log and policy inspection agent. It parses FortiGate syslog/JSONL logs, audits FortiOS policy exports, highlights UTM events, and can quarantine malicious source IPs through the FortiGate API when explicitly enabled.

Autoblocking is dry-run by default. The tool will not block RFC1918, loopback, multicast, link-local, reserved, or allowlisted addresses unless you change the code.

Quick Start

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .

Or use the helper script, which creates/uses .venv automatically and runs pip install -e .:

./start.sh
./start.sh status
./start.sh analyze
./start.sh stop

./start.sh starts three local background processes:

UDP syslog listener writing logs/fg_syslog.jsonl
Continuous monitor writing state/fgai-status.json
Local dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:8088

The script activates .venv inside the script process. If you also want your current shell prompt to show the venv, run:

source .venv/bin/activate

For UDP 514, the script starts only the listener command with sudo:

FGAI_SYSLOG_PORT=514 ./start.sh

Analyze local logs:

fgai analyze-logs --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl

Open the live UI after ./start.sh:

xdg-open http://127.0.0.1:8088

Score likely traffic anomalies:

fgai detect-anomalies --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --min-score 35
fgai detect-anomalies --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --min-score 35 --llm --llm-timeout 300

Generate response and policy recommendations:

fgai recommend --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --min-score 35

Optional external reputation enrichment is disabled by default. To use VirusTotal for public source/destination IP reputation:

export FGAI_THREAT_INTEL=1
export ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY='...'
fgai recommend --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --min-score 35 --threat-intel

VirusTotal is also supported:

export FGAI_THREAT_INTEL=1
export FGAI_THREAT_INTEL_PROVIDER=virustotal
export VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY='...'
fgai recommend --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --min-score 35 --threat-intel

Listen for FortiGate syslog locally:

fgai listen-syslog --port 5514 --output logs/fg_syslog.jsonl

Run the listener quietly in the background:

./start.sh

Stop the background listener:

./start.sh stop

UDP port 514 normally needs root privileges on Linux:

sudo .venv/bin/fgai listen-syslog --port 514 --output logs/fg_syslog.jsonl

Test FortiGate API access:

export FORTIGATE_HOST=192.0.2.10
export FORTIGATE_API_TOKEN='...'
export FORTIGATE_VERIFY_TLS=false
fgai test-connection
fgai fetch-policies --output exports/policies.json

Audit a FortiGate policy export:

fgai audit-policies --config exports/fortigate.conf

Or fetch policies through the FortiGate API and audit that JSON:

fgai fetch-policies --output exports/policies.json
fgai audit-policies --config exports/policies.json --llm --llm-timeout 300

Find block candidates without changing the firewall:

fgai suggest-blocks --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl

Execute guarded quarantine actions:

export FORTIGATE_HOST=192.0.2.10
export FORTIGATE_API_TOKEN='...'
fgai suggest-blocks --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --execute --expiry-minutes 60

Optional local LLM summary through Ollama:

ollama pull llama3.3
fgai analyze-logs --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --llm --llm-timeout 300

For slower machines or large models:

OLLAMA_MODEL=llama3.1 OLLAMA_TIMEOUT=300 fgai analyze-logs --logs logs/fg_syslog.jsonl --llm

FortiGate Inputs

For logs, configure FortiGate syslog to write into a local file such as logs/fg_syslog.jsonl. The parser supports common key/value syslog lines and JSONL.

For policies, export a FortiOS config backup and pass it to audit-policies.

Example FortiGate syslog target, run on the FortiGate CLI and replace the server IP with this machine:

config log syslogd setting
    set status enable
    set server "192.0.2.50"
    set port 5514
    set mode udp
    set format default
end

Environment

FORTIGATE_HOST: firewall hostname or IP.
FORTIGATE_API_TOKEN: REST API token.
FORTIGATE_VERIFY_TLS: true or false, defaults to true.
FGAI_ALLOWLIST: comma-separated IPs/CIDRs never to block.
OLLAMA_HOST: defaults to http://127.0.0.1:11434.
OLLAMA_MODEL: defaults to llama3.3.
OLLAMA_TIMEOUT: Ollama request timeout in seconds, defaults to 180.
FGAI_THREAT_INTEL: set to 1 to enable external threat intelligence lookups.
ABUSEIPDB_API_KEY: AbuseIPDB API key for public IP reputation enrichment.
ABUSEIPDB_MAX_AGE_DAYS: report age window for AbuseIPDB, defaults to 90.
FGAI_THREAT_INTEL_PROVIDER: auto, abuseipdb, or virustotal.
VIRUSTOTAL_API_KEY: VirusTotal API key for public IP reputation enrichment.

Safety Model

The agent separates detection from enforcement:

UTM events are scored from FortiGate logs (ips, virus, anomaly, ddos, webfilter, app-ctrl, waf, dns).
Source IPs must be globally routable and outside the allowlist.
Blocking requires --execute.
The FortiGate API call is limited to the quarantine/banned user monitor endpoint.
