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.
