Importing a log file
If you have older log files from a device, you can import these logs onto the
FortiAnalyzer unit for generating log reports.
Importing log files is also useful when changing your RAID configuration (for the
FortiAnalyzer-400, 800, 2000 and 4000/4000A). Changing your RAID
configuration wipes the hard disk. If you backup your FortiAnalyzer log, you can
import the FortiAnalyzer log onto the device.
You can also import normal Fortinet logs or logs in CSV format.

2 Select Import.
3 Select the device from the Device list that the log file is associated with.
4 Enter the path and file name of the log file, or select Browse.
5 Select OK.

Printable Version Select to generate a report that captures the current log
messages. The web browser prompts you to save the report file
for viewing or printing. The report saved is in HTML format. Note
that large log messages can take a long time to load.
The printable version takes all filter settings into account when
generating a printable version.
Note: Searches using characters will not include results from the Traffic logs. Traffic logs
include information for source and destination IP addresses and ports which is strictly
numerical information.
For example, if you are searching on User1, you may get results for User1, however, none
of the results will include entries from the Traffic log. To get results from the traffic log, you
must search on the IP address of User1. For example, 10.10.10.1.
