When configuring logging with a High Availability (HA) cluster, configure the Primary
unit send logs to the FortiLog unit or a Syslog server. The settings will apply to the
Subordinate units.The subordinate units send the log messages to the Primary unit,
and the Primary unit sends all logs to the FortiLog unit or Syslog server.
If you configured a secure connection via an IPSec VPN tunnel between a FortiLog
unit and an HA cluster, connection is actually between the FortiLog unit and the HA
cluster primary unit.
For more information, see the High Availability Guide available at
http://docs.forticare.com/fgt.html.
Log Access provides access to log messages saved to the FortiGate disk or to the
memory buffer. You can delete, view, search, and navigate logs.
Note: FortiGate units do not save some types of logs to memory. You can view these
log messages with Log Access only if your FortiGate unit contains a hard disk drive.
On its disk, the FortiGate unit saves log messages in files. To view log messages, you
must first select the file to open. You can also delete a file, clear (remove the log
messages from) a file, or download a file in either plain text or CSV format.
You can view the log messages in a memory buffer simply by accessing the buffer.
You cannot delete or download log messages from the memory buffer.
