Description This article describes how to check storage utilization details for the files without shell access.
Scope FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer.
Solution

There is a use case of shell access on Fortianalyzer and Fortimanager, to review the size of files stored in various directories.

However, starting from 7.2.7, 7.4.4 and 7.6.0 the shell access has been disabled.  In the absence of shell access, the CLI command 'diagnose system disk usagecan be used.

 

For example:

  • Check the size of directories under /var/fgd. 
  • Use -h for human readable format of size.
