    Configuring log settings

    Configuring log settings

    1. To configure log settings, go to Log & Report > Log Settings.

    2. Select where you want to record log messages. This example uses Local Log, because it is required by FortiView. You can also use Remote Logging and Archiving to send logs to either a FortiAnalyzer/FortiManager, FortiCloud, or a syslog server.

    3. Enable Disk, Local Reports, and Historical FortiView.

    4. Under Log Settings, set both Event Logging and Local Traffic Log to All.
