i Noticed that the logs on my Fortigate is stuck at 22-April.

eg. web filter and email filter logs when viewed from Fortigate Logs and Report and from my FortiAnalyzer latest logs is until 22-April. I cannot see any logs from 23-April to today.

How do i check whether my logs is working properly

Hello,


An easy way to verify if your GUI shows log entries is to create a few bogus log entries with the built in test command:
# diagnose log test

 

Refer to

Also refer to this KB article which might match be the issue you are reporting

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Not-able-to-see-Web-filter-and-Application-control/ta-p/195561


If the GUI does not show any logs you can confirm if they are present via CLI with the "execute log" commands:
# execute log ?
