Log & Report
The Log & Report menu allows you to view and download reports and traffic, event, and security logs. Logging, archiving, and user interface settings can also be configured.
This section describes the following:
- Types of logs
- System Events
- Security Events
- Reports
- Log settings
- Email Alert Settings
- Port Exhaustion Alert
- Logging to FortiAnalyzer
The log messages are a record of all of the traffic that passes through the FortiProxy device, and the actions taken by the device while scanning said traffic.
After a log message is recorded, it is stored in a log file. The log files can be stored on the FortiProxy device itself, on a connected FortiManager or FortiAnalyzer device, or on a FortiGate Cloud server (you must have a FortiCloud subscription before you can configure the FortiProxy device to send logs to a FortiGate Cloud server). The FortiProxy device’s system memory or local disk can be configured to store logs.
The HTTP response code returned by the upstream content server has been added to the FortiProxy logs to aid in the debugging of content failures. |
Each page of log messages contains the following controls.
Debug logs
Customer Support might request a copy of your debug logs for troubleshooting.
To download the debug logs:

diagnose wad filter process-id <integer> |
