Question

'execute' commands unavailable in FortiGate 3040B with 5.2.3 build670

Hello,

 

I am trying to clear the logs from memory on a 3040B running 5.2.3, and as I have seen in config guides and forums, the way to do it is by using the command 'execute log delete-all'

 

However, it seems that on the CLI it is unavailable for some reason. I only get config, get, and show commands there (see screenshot) but no 'execute'. The account is super-admin, so it should not have a reduced command list, I guess.

 

Any ideas? Or a way to clear logs from the web interface instead?

    Are you running  vdoms? ( it looks like you are ) . Can you change into the proper vdom and then look for execute commands?

    Thanks for the reply :)

     

    True, I am using virtual domains. If I go to config mode, I can choose between 'global' and 'vdom' modes.

     

    However, 'execute' is only available under global mode,  not in vdom mode, and even then, 'execute log' does not have a delete option....the downgrade log, fortianalyzer, and fortiguard are the only arguments available.

    lack of execute commands is probably a sign of your admin role priviledge. What is he access profile that's being used for that user?

     

    Also keep in mind that accesprofile reduce the number of "execute" cmds based on that role

     

    e.g "readonly"

     

    FWF90D $ execute  

    backup                backup

    ping                  PING command.

    ping6                 PINGv6 command.
