Downloading a log file

You can download a log file to save it as a backup or to use outside the FortiAnalyzer unit. The download consists of either the entire log file, or a partial log file, as selected by your current log view filter settings and, if downloading a raw file, the time span specified.

To download a log file:

1. Go to Log View > Log Browse and select the log file that you want to download.
2. In the toolbar, click Download.
3. In the Download Log File(s) dialog box, configure download options:
   • In the Log file format dropdown list, select Native, Text, or CSV.
   • If you want to compress the downloaded file, select Compress with gzip.
4. Click Download.
