View IPS logs in fortigate 5.2.1 with VDOM access

I have just moved to a fortigate 5.2.1 with VDOM access and can't see UTM or IPS logs. Does anyone know where in the menu they should appear  - looking at docs there should be something called either IPS or UTM logs. In v4.3.16, any IPS signatures fired would show in the threat logs

Hello Mark,

 

I believe that the IPS log only appears in the GUI when it has results. So if nothing has been blocked by your IPS profile, the log will be hidden.

Let me know if there's anything you want to see added to the FortiGate Cookbook.

Perhaps that is the case. The IPS logs are showing as 0 size using cli commands even though I have disk logging turned on. I also have the UX configured to use disk logging

 

Does fortinet provide some link to testing various IPS signatures easily (not AV)

 

thanks
