    That should be a bug, one way you may disable "traffic log " on policy, heavy  traffic log to memory is useless. Thanks.

    That looks properly configured, actually. There are warning thresholds set when the log memory approaches being full. If you have set the FortiGate to overwrite the oldest file once it reaches a certain age or size, it will simply delete the oldest file and open a new one. The threshold alerts shouldn't be anything to get alarmed about.

    It can not disable , but it can change setting at :

     

    config log memory global-setting     set max-size 163840     set full-first-warning-threshold 75     set full-second-warning-threshold 90     set full-final-warning-threshold 95 end

    If you increase max-size, it may have less chance to report this event log, thanks.

    Hi Jeff_FTNT, thanks for reply. When i get these "memory traffic log is 95% full" the Fortigate block my GUI conections. If i increase the max-size, i only delays carrying the problem, it will relock. How can avoid this? The logs increase very quickly.

    Yes, something is wrong with the firewall, i not use the memory log often, so i'll disabled it, and use only syslog server.

    Thanks for reply
