FortiGate unit begins to overwrite the oldest messages. All log entries are
deleted when the FortiGate unit restarts.

FortiGate log formats comply with WebTrends Enhanced Log Format (WELF)
and are compatible with NetIQ WebTrends Security Reporting Center 2.0 and
Firewall Suite 4.1.
IP: The IP address of the FortiLog unit that manages the logs.
Level: The FortiGate unit logs all messages at and above the logging severity
level you select. For example, if you select Error, the unit logs Error,
Critical, Alert and Emergency level messages. See Table 31, “Logging
