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 Actions > 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.
