The fortigate can send syslog data. So you could either have your fortigate send syslog directly to your splunk light server by setting up a network monitor input, or you could configure the fortigate to send syslog to a syslog server, and then monitor the syslog files there using the splunk forwarder.

Here's some links to get started.
