Log Viewer

From the Log Viewer tab, you can view recent and specific logs on the registered devices. There are two types of log viewing options:

Recent – displays current log messages, as they are received by the service.

Specific – provides a method of viewing historical log messages by focusing on specific log types and time frames.

FortiGate log messages present detailed accounts of an event or activity that occurred on your network. These log messages provide valuable information about your network, informing you about attacks, misuse and abuse.

The FortiGate Logging in FortiOS 3.0 Technical Note provides detailed information about all log messages and is available from the Fortinet Knowledge Center web site.

You can search both recent and historical log messages when viewing them in either Recent or Specified, by using Type, Level, or Column Settings.

Viewing logs

From the Log Viewer, you can view recent log messages as they are received by the service from a device. Recent log messages provide current information about what is happening on your network in real-time.

From the same page, you can also view historical log messages by specifying when these log messages occurred. For example, you can view logs that occurred between July 2, 2008 and September 15, 2008.

To view recent logs, go to Analysis > Log Viewer. Recent log messages appear by default in the Log Viewer section. To view the most current recent logs, select the Refresh icon.

To view historical logs, go to Analysis > Log Viewer. Select the calendar beside Period: From and select a start date and time; select the other calendar, beside Period: To, and then select an end date and time.
