Device > Scheduled Log Export

You can schedule exports of logs and save them in CSV format to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server or use Secure Copy (SCP) to securely transfer data between the firewall and a remote host. Log profiles contain the schedule and FTP server information. For example, a profile may specify that the previous day’s logs are collected each day at 3AM and stored on a particular FTP server.
