Storing Logs Log&Report
You can also test the connection status between the FortiGate unit and the
FortiAnalyzer unit by using the following CLI command:
get system fortianalyzer-connectivity status
The command displays the status and the amount of disk usage in percent. See
the FortiGate CLI Reference for more information.
Logging to memory
The FortiGate system memory has a limited capacity for log messages. It displays
the most recent log entries. The FortiGate unit does not store Traffic and Content
logs in the memory due to their size and frequency of log entries. When the
memory is full, the FortiGate unit overwrites the oldest messages. All log entries
are cleared when the FortiGate unit restarts.
To configure the FortiGate unit to save logs in memory
1 Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Log Setting.
2 Select Memory.
3 Select the blue arrow to expand the Memory options.
4 Select the severity level.
The FortiGate unit logs all messages at and above the logging severity level you
select. For details on the logging levels, see Table 44, “Log severity levels,” on
page 408.
