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.
