How would you configure log retention settings in FortiGate?

To configure log retention settings in FortiGate, it's essential to adjust the settings in the log configuration under System Settings. This is where you can specify how long logs should be retained based on different criteria. In FortiGate, log retention settings include options for setting the maximum size of logs and defining the duration for which logs should be stored.

Modifying the retention settings here ensures that you are managing log data effectively, complying with regulations or internal policies, and optimizing storage space. Setting appropriate log retention values allows for a balance between having sufficient historical data for analysis and preventing excessive storage use on the device.

The other options relate to different aspects of FortiGate configuration. Adjusting settings in the network interface pertains primarily to traffic management rather than log retention. Logging within security policies influences what logs are generated, not how long they are kept. Changing the log file format may affect how the logs are stored or exported but does not impact how long they are retained. Thus, focusing on the log configuration under System Settings is crucial for managing log retention appropriately.
