Definition
FortiAnalyzer Ordering Guide: FortiAnalyzer VM perpetual licences are "License for 1 GB/Day of Logs" (FAZ-VM-GB1) up to "License for 2 TB/Day of Logs" (FAZ-VM-GB2000); VM subscriptions and the FortiAnalyzer Cloud GB/Day Subscription are sold in 5, 50 and 500 GB/day tiers. The cloud GB/day subscription is "A shared capacity model based on the expected daily log ingestion volume."
Counting rules
Licensed capacity is the daily log ingestion volume; perpetual GB/day SKUs are stackable and a la carte services (FortiCare, Security Automation, IOC) are bought in tiers that must match the total GB/day (1-6, 1-11, 1-26, 1-101, 1-501, 1-2001, unlimited). FortiAnalyzer Cloud GB/day capacity is pooled across all devices in the same FortiCloud account; if ingestion exceeds the licensed capacity logs may be throttled or dropped.
Floors / minimums
Smallest perpetual VM licence 1 GB/day; VM subscription and cloud tiers 5, 50, 500 GB/day; FortiFlex FortiAnalyzer-VM 5 to 8,300 GB.
