Did you try with scripts?

FMG > Device Manager > Scripts > Create New

  • write the script: config log syslogd ...
  • Run on: Device Database

Hope it helps.

      The CLI to get that setting you showed in GUI is:
      config log setting
        set local-in-allow disable
        set local-in-deny-unicast disable

        set local-in-deny-broadcast disable

        set local-out enable
      end

      And you could push this via a script or CLI template. But changes made by script might not stick when you swap the hardware with a new one. I recommend CLI template then sync it with both device DB and remote device config.

      However, I believe this setting is default values after factory reset. Isn't this set already at those FGTs you manage?
