Hi,

If you need to retent logs,you may consider using remote storage instead (fortianaylyzer, syslog, forticloud....)
Logs that store in memory will be gone every time you reboot the device, is never a good option for long term logging.
Furthermore, memory logging will used up your device memory especially for small model which already have limited memory.

The flash memory is built in, there is no way to expand it.

Thank you for your answer.

 

Then I want to secure the capacity of /data

(It's currently 97% 91%, so I think we'll reach 100% soon.)

 

Can you tell me how to do that?

 

If the log is stored in /data

 

I just want to keep it for a year and delete the rest.

 

Please check and reply.

Thank you.
