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.
