Hello i'm HyunBeom i have a question. i have a Fortigate-500D Because of high memory usage(55-65%) i'm considering introduction of fortianalyzer. engineers using fortigate of other company say "when making disk logging disable and disk format(unit reboot) then using fortianalyzer, then they could get about 20~25% memory decrease effectiveness." please explain how principle that using fortianalyzer makes memory decrease effectively Best regards.

@HyunBeom yes you can save some memory when not logging on the FG itself, but I've never seen those improvements. The saving is straightforward - if the FG does not have to log to itself, then it does not have to allocate memory to logging - saving!
