A huge number of "Local Traffic" logs

Please help me block logs saved to the SSD. I'm referring to "Local Traffic" and entries that appear even 2-3 times per second. For now, I've disabled "Local Traffic" logging on the SSD, but I'd like to see traffic from Fortigate (e.g., to globalguardservice, NTP, etc.). The FG61E is in transparent mode, connected to the internet via the Local Interface.
This large number of entries concerns local network connections from some devices. These entries include:
Source=192.168.3.XX (LAN addresses)
Destination=255.255.255.255 or 192.168.3.255
Application Name="DHCP/DHCP Relay" or "udp/15600"
Destination Interface=[object Object]
Source Interface=internal
How can I block this, but still allow other connections, such as those to Fortigate servers and other services, to be visible?

It worked!
That was it - thanks for the help.
"Local traffic logging" was set to "All."
