Importing log files

If you have older log files from various devices, you can import these logs onto the

FortiLog unit to generate log reports.

Importing log files is also useful when changing your RAID configuration (for the FortiLog-400 and FortiLog-800). Changing your RAID configuration wipes the hard disk. If you backup your FortiLog log, you can import the FortiLog log onto the device.
