Log groups

You can group devices into log groups. You can view FortiView summaries, display logs, generate reports, or create handlers for a log group. Log groups are virtual so they do not have SQL databases or occupy additional disk space.

In FortiAnalyzer 5.0.6 and earlier, you can treat log groups as a single device that has its own SQL database. You cannot do this in FortiAnalyzer 5.2 and later.

When you add a device with VDOMs to a log group, all VDOMs are automatically added.

To create a new log group:

1. Go to Log View > Log Group.
2. In the content pane toolbar, click Create New.
3. In the Create New Log Group dialog box, type a log group name and add devices to the log group.
4. Click OK.
