New Features

A new error log message is recorded when the Antispam engine request does not get a response from FortiGuard (265255)

Error code is ‘sp_ftgd_error‘.

New Report database construction (280398 267019)

This will improve performance with reports and FortiView without requiring any configuration changes.

When configuring your FortiGate to send logs to a FortiAnalyzer you can specify an IPv4 or an IPv6 address.

Context menu on Log & Report > Forward Traffic has been updated (293188)

Filtering allows control of the log messages sent to each log device (262061)

This includes disk log, memory log, FortiAnalyzer and syslog servers and allows inclusion/exclusion based on type, severity, and log ID.

Use the following CLI command:

config log <device> filter

set filter <new-filter-settings>

set filter-type <include | exclude>
