Log filter options
For each logging location you enable, you can create a customized log filter based on
the log types described in the following sections.
Note: If more than one log message is collected before an interval is reached, the messages
are combined and sent out as one alert email.
Note: Before configuring alert email make sure you configure at least one DNS server. The
FortiGate unit uses the SMTP server name to connect to the mail server, and must look up this
name on your DNS server.
Note: Log locations must be enabled in Log Setting to be available for selection in the Log
Filter.
