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.
