Figure 4: Data filter templates
Data filters are configured to sort through and omit specific log information,
enabling you to include or exclude log messages to focus your report on certain
types of log messages that match your criteria. For example, you want to include a
specific range of IP addresses. In the Source(s) field you input the IP addresses
range, 172.20.110.0-255, which will match all IP addresses in the
172.20.110.0/255.255.255.0 or 172.20.120.110/24. If you do not want to match
this specific IP address range, you would enter the IP address range and select
the “not” check box.
Data filter options operate on specific log message fields. For information about
log message fields, see the FortiGate Log Message Reference.
