Are you running Analyzer (or Manager+Analyzer) too? why not pull from there? if not you can always script from PS https://github.com/FortiPower/PowerFGT if you are ok with Powershell. PowerFGT utilizes the REST API. might want to look at what they did and see how they are using the REST API. though the PowerFGT and PowerMGT Projects are getting pretty big now. your best bet is just use syslog or snmp traps unless your running some wonky HA setup (not directly connected L3 HA).
