Description This article describes a troubleshooting step for clearing and rebuilding the FortiView Reports Database.
Scope FortiGate, FortiView.
Solution

These steps can be applied if FortiGate's FortiView log displays are not showing historical logs, but real time logs are still appearing on FortiView.

 

Use 'execute report flush-cache' and 'execute report recreate-db' to clear up any irregularities that may be caused by upgrading or cache issues.

 

Flush report caches:

 

execute report flush-cache

 

Recreate the report database:

 

execute report recreate-db 

 

Note: The 'execute report' commands are only available on devices with an SSD.
