Configuring and viewing FortiMail log messages

This recipe shows how to store log messages locally on the hard disk of the FortiMail unit, and how to create backup copies. To ensure that the local hard disk has sufficient space for new log messages, it is recommended to regularly download backup copies of the oldest log files to your computer and then delete them from the FortiMail unit.

Log messages can be stored both locally and remotely. To store log files remotely, see “Configuring logging to a Syslog server or FortiAnalyzer unit” in the FortiMail Administrator Guide.
