Configuring log destinations
You can choose and configure the storage methods for log information, and/or email alerts
when logs have occurred.
For logging accuracy, you should verify that the FortiWeb appliance’s system time is accurate.
For details, see “Setting the system time & date” on page 91.
To configure log settings
1. Go to Log&Report > Log Config > Global Log Settings.
To access this part of the web UI, your administrator’s account access profile must have
Read and Write permission to items in the Log & Report category. For details, see
“Permissions” on page 47.
Alert email can be enabled here, but must be configured separately first. See “Alert email” on
page 576.
Avoid recording highly frequent log types such as traffic logs to the local hard disk for an
extended period of time. Excessive logging frequency can cause undue wear on the hard disk
and may cause premature failure.
