Browsing log files

When a log file reaches its maximum size or 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.
