Browsing log files
Log View > [ADOM name] > Log Browse > Log Browse displays log files stored for devices.
When a log file reaches its maximum size, or reaches the scheduled time, the FortiManager rolls the active log file by renaming the file. The file name will be in the form of xlog.N.log, where x is a letter indicating the log type and N is a unique number corresponding to the time the first log entry was received.
For information about setting the maximum file size and log rolling options, see “Configuring rolling and uploading of devices’ logs”.
If you display the log messages in Formatted view, you can display and arrange columns and/or filter log messages by column contents. For more information, see ““Customizing the log view”.
For more information about log messages, see the FortiManager Log Message Reference.
