Viewing local event logs
The logs created by FortiManager are viewable within the Web-based Manager. You can use the
FortiManager v4.0 MR3 Patch Release 7 Log Message Reference, available on the
Technical Documentation web site to interpret the messages. You can view log messages in the FortiManager Web-based Manager that are stored in memory or on the internal hard disk. To view log messages stored on a FortiAnalyzer unit, you need to view them from the FortiAnalyzer Web-based Manager.
To view the log messages:
1. Go to System Settings > General > Log Access.
2. Select the storage location by selecting it from the Type drop-down list in the upper right corner.
3. Select the Raw text/Formatted table button to toggle log message view
4. Select Refresh to refresh the displayed logs.
