Pull request overview

Updates the FortiGate integration documentation to make syslog configuration instructions clearer (including placeholder values) and to add a note about accessing the CLI from the GUI.

Changes:

  • Removes a placeholder “....” line from the logging filter example.
  • Adds a GUI tip for opening the CLI console and running the documented commands.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

- With some Fortigate appliances, it may not be possible to do the above configuration through the command line. An alternative method is to use the graphical interface and go to the `Log Settings` menu. From there you can choose every logging option within `Event Logging` and `Local Traffic Log` except for the `Denied` options.
- To open the CLI console from the GUI, click the `>_` icon in the top-right corner, then run the CLI commands from this guide.
