Explanation
The NGFW authenticates to Strata Logging Service (a cloud-based log collector) using device certificates. If the device certificate is expired, revoked, missing, or not properly provisioned, the secure connection to the cloud service will fail and log forwarding will disconnect. Reviewing and renewing device certificates is the correct first step. A decryption profile (B) applies to SSL inspection, not service connectivity. Auth codes (C) are used during initial licensing and activation, not for ongoing log-forwarding sessions. Software warranty (D) has no bearing on log connectivity.
