Storing Logs
Logs can be stored locally on the appliance's non-persistent memory or on an external SD card (persistent).
Logs can also be sent to an externally managed log server (see Log Servers page).
When you insert an SD card, it mounts automatically and then local logs are saved to it. Before you eject an
SD card, make sure to unmount it. Select Options > Eject SD card safely.
Note - In firmware versions R81.10.00 and higher, SD cards are formatted with the ext4 file
system. In older firmware versions, SD cards are formatted with the FAT32 file system. If you
upgrade to a version R77.20.85 or higher, the file system on the SD card remains FAT32 for
backward compatibility.
To delete logs from local log storage:
1. In Logs & Monitoring > Logs > Security Logs page, click Clear logs.
A confirmation window opens.
2. Click Yes to delete logs.
The logs are deleted, and the logs grid reloads automatically.
Note - Logs are deleted from the external SD card (if inserted) or from the local logs storage. Logs
are not deleted from the remote logs server.
The logs are deleted, and the logs grid reloads automatically.
