Fine-tuning & best practices : Improving performance : Logging & alert performance
 
Logging & alert performance
If you have a FortiAnalyzer, store FortiRecorder’s logs on the FortiAnalyzer to avoid resource usage associated with writing logs to FortiRecorder’s own hard disks. See “Configuring logging”.
If you do not need a log or alert, disable it to reduce the use of system resources. See “Configuring logging”.
Avoid recording log messages using low severity thresholds, such as information or notification, to the local hard disk for an extended period of time. Excessive logging frequency saps system resources and can cause undue wear on the hard disk and may cause premature failure. See “Configuring logging”.
