| Description |
This article describes why some expected memory logs may not be seen in FortiGate/FortiWifi running FortiOS v7.0 and higher. |
| Scope | FortiOS v7.0 and above. |
| Solution |
By default, starting from v7.0, memory logging only shows logs with a warning level or higher. Logs below the warning level are not stored in memory.
config log memory filter set severity information end
get log memory filter severity : information forward-traffic : enable local-traffic : disable multicast-traffic : enable sniffer-traffic : enable anomaly : enable netscan-discovery : enable netscan-vulnerability: enable voip : enable
get log memory setting
diagnose system process pidof miglogd
execute log filter category 0 <------ 0 is for memory. Available devices:
execute log filter view-lines 10 execute log display
get system performance status
fnsysctl killall miglogd
In some cases, terminating the daemon has no effect because it is already stopped. Verify its state by running:
diagnose sys top 1 100
If the miglogd process shows a state value of 'T' (terminated), a system reboot is required to resume logging. |
