Configuring traffic logging Logging and reporting
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.
4Select OK.
The traffic filter list displays the new traffic address entry with the settings that you
selected in “Enabling traffic logging” on page 286.
