Browsing Network Analyzer log files
The Browse tab in Tools > Network Analyzer enables you to see all stored
Network Analyzer log files, view the Network Analyzer logs, download log files to
your hard disk or delete unneeded files.
When a log file reaches its maximum size, the FortiAnalyzer unit saves the log
files with an incremental number, and starts a new log file with the same name.
The current Network Analyzer log is xlog.log. Any subsequent saved logs
appear as xlog.n.log, where n is the number of rolled logs.
For more information about setting the maximum file size and log rolling options,
see “Rolling and uploading Network Analyzer logs” on page 153.
To view the log file list, go to Tools > Network Analyzer > Browse.
