Here are the cli commands I use to set a fortigate unit with a Syslog server, change the server IP and the facility as needed.

config log syslogd setting
 set status enable
 set server 192.168.0.10
 set port 514
 set facility user
end

Check that everything was saved correctly.

get log syslogd settings
