Event Log
The Event Log pane provides an audit log of actions made by users on FortiAnalyzer. It allows you to view log messages that are stored in memory or on the internal hard disk drive. You can use filters to search the messages and download the messages to the management computer.
See the FortiAnalyzer Log Message Reference, available from the Fortinet Document Library, for more information about the log messages.

The event log includes logs for modify, request, and response API calls. You can disable or enable JSON API request and response logging in the FortiAnalyzer CLI: config system global set jsonapi-log {all | disable | request | response} all - logging for both jsonapi request & response. disable - disable jsonapi logging for both request & response. request - logging for jsonapi request only. response - logging for jsonapi response only. |
