Why each option
FortiGate devices offer various methods for administrators to monitor logs and receive alerts regarding device events and network activity.
MIB (Management Information Base) is a database structure used by SNMP, not a standalone method of monitoring logs.
SMS (Short Message Service) is not a native or standard method for FortiGate to monitor or send logs directly.
FortiGate can be configured to send alert emails to specified recipients when certain log events or thresholds are triggered.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) allows FortiGate to send traps and provide MIB data to a network management system for proactive monitoring of logs and device status.
FortiAnalyzer is a destination for logs and a platform for analysis, not a direct method by which the FortiGate itself monitors its own logs.
The FortiGate GUI includes an Alert Message Console, often found on the dashboard, which displays real-time system alerts and messages.
