    Logging to memory will always consume over 90% memory after a short while - it was never meant to be a permanent thing. If your fgt device has a HD (or flash) you can try setting the logging to use that instead.  That being said, you really do not have to worry about logging to memory as the fgt should take care of "cleaning up" or freeing up memory.  If you have a FortiAnalyzer or other logging device, you could try logging to that instead if you need to logs. All IMO of course.

    Agreed log to anything outside of memory. Syslog and log-storage is cheap and offers a higher degree of log retention.

     

    I can get 1TB of storage for example at under 59 usd.

    Then stop logging, or log to an external syslog server.

    Used memory will be recovered after a reboot.

    I have integrated Fortigate 60f with Forticloud. No local disk logging is enabled. I got these alerts I did log flush-cache but the alert is still showing. if error is resolved does alert disappear or it will be there in the dashboard.
