Adding traffic filter entries

Add entries to the traffic filter list to filter the messages that are recorded in the traffic log. If you do not add any entries to the traffic filter list, the FortiGate records all traffic log messages. You can add entries to the traffic filter list to limit the traffic logs that are recorded. You can log traffic with a specified source IP address and netmask, to a destination IP address and netmask and for a specified service. A traffic filter entry can include any combination of source and destination addresses and services.

Use the following procedure to add an entry to the traffic filter list.

1Go to Log&Report > Log Setting > Traffic Filter.

2Select New.

3Configure the traffic filter for the type of traffic that you want to record on the traffic log.

Name Type a name to identify the traffic filter entry.

Source IP Address Source Netmask

The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase letters (A-Z, a-z), and the special characters - and _. Spaces and other special characters are not allowed.

Type the source IP address and netmask for which you want the FortiGate unit to log traffic messages. The address can be an individual computer, subnetwork, or network.
