Browsing log files

The Log Browser tab enables you to see all stored log files for all devices and the FortiAnalyzer itself. In this window, you can view the log information, download log files to your hard disk, or delete unneeded files.

When a log file reaches its maximum size, the FortiAnalyzer unit saves the log files with an incremental number and starts a new log file with the same name. The current attack log is alog.log. Any subsequent saved logs appear as alog.n.log, where n is the number of rolled logs.

For information about setting the maximum file size and log rolling options, see “Rolling and uploading logs” on page 104.

To browse the log files, go to Log > Browse.
