Wireless Log Categorization and Storage Control

FortiLAN Cloud generated wireless logs, instrumental in troubleshooting networks, are stored in the database for 1 year (subscription based). Given that wireless logs can be voluminous depending on the network size, you can now segregate them into multiple different categories and manage the categories to store and display, as per requirement. For example, frame-level logs such as probe logs, authentication logs, and association logs are only required during a debug session and are not always needed. This feature enables you to swiftly filter-down to specific logs of interest.

The network specific log storage policy (settings) configuration overrides the default log storage policy. Navigate to Wireless > Logs > Settings to view and manage the log record storage. The log types are displayed on the left panel, select the relevant log type and view the current log storage policy. FortiLAN Cloud assigns each log a severity level.

In the Log Storage column, enable/disable the storing of logs and click Apply. To reset the log storage policy to the default setting, click Reset to Defaults and to reload the saved log storage configuration, click Reload Saved Config.
