Go to FortiGate unit -> Log&Report -> Forward Traffic -> Add Filter: filter following source or destination IP address as desired -> Add Filter: Date/Time -> Choose 'Last 24 hours'.
Then it will be possible to see the logs at the FortiGate unit to be the same as the logs at the FortiAnalyzer unit under Log View -> FortiGate -> Traffic after that.
The reason is at FortiGate unit v7.0.x -> Log&Report -> Forward Traffic, for FortiAnalyzer log location, the default time range for log viewer is 1 hour. If it is desired to see the old logs, select 'Add Filter' and 'Date/Time' defined as 'Last 24 hours'. Then it will be possible to see more logs at the FortiGate unit. |
