Adding traffic filter entries
Add entries to the traffic filter list to filter the messages that are recorded in the traffic
log. If you do not add any entries to the traffic filter list, the FortiGate unit records all
traffic log messages. You can add entries to the traffic filter list to limit the traffic logs
that are recorded. You can log traffic with a specified source IP address and netmask,
to a destination IP address and netmask, and for a specified service. A traffic filter
entry can include any combination of source and destination addresses and services.
To add an entry to the traffic filter list
1 Go to Log&Report > Log Setting > Traffic Filter.
2 Select New.
3 Configure the traffic filter for the type of traffic that you want to record on the traffic log.
Resolve IP Select Resolve IP if you want traffic log messages to list the IP address
and domain name stored on the DNS server. If the primary and secondary
DNS server addresses provided to you by your ISP have not already been
added, go to System > Network > DNS and add the addresses.
Display Select Port Number if you want traffic log messages to list the port
number, for example, 80/tcp. Select Service Name if you want traffic log
messages to list the name of the service, for example, TCP.
