Hello

Make sure you enabled +30 days log retention.

config log disk setting

    set maximum-log-age 30

When requesting old logs from FG disk it may take a while to display, so you have to optimize your requests, e.g: instead of requesting the last 30 days logs, ask for logs between 28 and 30 days old.

PS: i think with FortiAnalyzer the log db engine should more performant.
