Problem viewing logs from disk on Fortigate 60D



With the new Fortigate 60D and Forti OS 5, the option to view log on disk may now be visible by default when configuring a new firewall.

To fix this, I recommend you to upgrade to the latest Forti OS (at least 5.0.3) and then reformat the log disk following these steps:

FG-60D/FWF-60D
Disk logging has been added back to the FG-60D and FWF-60D models. It is recommended to format the log disk after you enable this feature. To format the log disk, enter the following CLI command:


  • Set the GUI log location back to memory
  • config log setting
  • set gui-location memory
Format the log disk
execute formatlogdisk

Log disk is /dev/sda1.

Formatting this storage will erase all data on it, including logs,
quarantine files; WanOpt caches; and require the unit to reboot.

Do you want to continue? (y/n) [Enter y to continue]. y


  • Log now back in to the GUI after the reboot and the log disk should be available.
