This article describes how to stop generating the log-forward event logs that are continuously output every 10 minutes even when log forwarding settings are not set.

Solution
When 'Log-forward 'ld-_siem_@localhost' lag behind 99.94%, discarded 173825724379bytes' log outputs every 10 minutes in system event logs of the FortiAnalyzer , check the following steps:

1) Check the log forwarding settings on the FortiAnalyzer.
If disabled, go to next steps.

2) Running process of FortiSIEM agent daemon(siemagentd.wkrx).

If so, disable the siem module.
# config system global

Check if FortiSIEM is included in 'disable-module' settings.
If not, FortiSIEM is added to prevent the event from being continuously output.
