Log groups

Log groups

You can group devices into log groups. You can view FortiView summaries, display logs, generate reports, or create event handlers for a log group. Log groups are virtual so they do not have SQL databases or occupy additional disk space.

A maximum of 100 devices can be included in a log group.

When you add a device with VDOMs to a log group, all VDOMs are automatically added.

To create a new log group:
  1. Go to Log View > Log Settings > Log Group.

  2. In the content pane toolbar, click Create New.

  3. In the Create New Log Group pane, configure the following:

    Option Description

    Name

    Enter a name for the log group.

    Description

    Optionally, enter a description for the log group.

    Device Type

    Select the device type for the log group.

    Devices

    Select the devices to include in the log group, and then click OK.

  4. Click OK.
