| Description | This article describes how to read the FortiManager Event Logs for Address Group (device mapping modification) that are very long. |
| Scope | FortiManager. |
| Solution |
In this article, 160 hosts (host-001 to host-160) were created to simulate a very long list of objects added to a group named My_group. The logs will be shortened to help with readability when possible.
