Question

Hello guys.

I would like to know if any of you have ever encountered this problem: when I download logs from the firewall the file is always empty.

I tried to download them in all formats, from multiple browsers, using another pc, but the file is allways empty.

I think the problem is the Fortigate. The logs are visible in the GUI and are stored on the firewall disk.

Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

    Hi

     

    Are you downloading system logs or traffic logs? Are all logs blank when downloaded?

    Switch to the MEM log, and then try to download it? See if it is normal.

     

    It may be a problem with the hard disk, you can find an opportunity to format the hard disk.
