Hi Anyone ,

 

Pls advice me how to fix following issue

 

Issue

- All logs are stopped since December but Unit is working like normal except this issue.

 

My Setting

- I configured logs to store in local disk of fortigate.

- Time zone is point to Local time zone ( not NTP ).

 

Many Thanks

Max

Few things you could double check:

1. Confirm disk logging is enabled:

fortigate # get log disk setting | grep status status              : enable

2. Confirm logs will be displayed from disk:

fortigate#   get log gui-display | grep location location             :  disk

3. Confirm if the log disk is available:

fortigate # get sys status | grep Log Log hard disk: Available

4. Run a log test to populate all logs:

fortigate # diagnose log test generating a system event message with level - warning generating an infected virus message with level - warning generating a blocked virus message with level - warning generating a URL block message with level - warning generating a DLP message with level - warning generating an IPS log message generating an anomaly log message generating an application control IM message with level - information generating an IPv6 application control IM message with level - information generating deep application control logs with level - information generating an antispam message with level - notification generating an allowed traffic message with level - notice generating a multicast traffic message with level - notice generating a ipv6 traffic message with level - notice generating a wanopt traffic log message with level - notification generating a HA event message with level - warning generating netscan log messages with level - notice generating a VOIP event message with level - information generating a DNS event message with level - information generating authentication event messages generating a Forticlient message with level - information generating a URL block message with level - warning

5. Log out of the GUI and back in. 

 

Hopefully you should now see some logs.

Hello,

 

For 5.0.2 please try the following:

2. Confirm logs will be displayed from disk:

FortiGate-VM64 # config log setting FortiGate-VM64 (setting) # get | grep gui gui-location        : disk 3.Confirm if the log disk is available:

 

Type in get system status and look for something about Log hard disk as highlighted below:
