Add entries to the traffic filter list to filter the messages that are recorded in the traffic
log. If you do not add any entries to the traffic filter list, the FortiGate records all traffic
log messages. You can add entries to the traffic filter list to limit the traffic logs that are
recorded. You can log traffic with a specified source IP address and netmask, to a
destination IP address and netmask and for a specified service. A traffic filter entry
can include any combination of source and destination addresses and services.
Use the following procedure to add an entry to the traffic filter list.
1
Go to Log&Report > Log Setting > Traffic Filter.
2
Select New.

Configure the traffic filter for the type of traffic that you want to record on the traffic log.

Select Resolve IP if you want traffic log messages to list the IP address
and the domain name stored on the DNS server. If the primary and
secondary DNS server addresses provided to you by your ISP have not
already been added, go to System > Network > DNS and add the
addresses.
Select Session or Packet. If you select Session, the FortiGate unit records
the number of packets sent and received for each session. If you select
Packet, the FortiGate unit records the average packet length for each
session (in bytes).
Select Port Number if you want traffic log messages to list the port
number, for example, 80/tcp. Select Service Name if you want traffic log
messages to list the name of the service, for example, TCP.
Type a name to identify the traffic filter entry.
The name can contain numbers (0-9), uppercase and lowercase
letters (A-Z, a-z), and the special characters - and _. Spaces and
other special characters are not allowed.

FortiGate unit to log traffic messages. The address can be an
