What happens when the allowed disk space on FortiAnalyzer is full?

When the allowed disk space on FortiAnalyzer reaches full capacity, the system takes proactive measures to manage the storage of log data. In this scenario, an alert message is generated to notify administrators about the disk space status. Additionally, to ensure that logging continues without interruption, the oldest logs are automatically overwritten by new log entries. This method allows for continuous logging while also managing disk space effectively, ensuring that the most relevant and recent log data is retained for analysis and compliance purposes.

This mechanism is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency, as it prevents a situation where the logging process could be halted or where the system might run out of space without notifying the administrators, which could lead to data loss or gaps in log records. The focus here is on maintaining logs that are relevant for immediate analysis while also alerting users to the need for potential actions regarding storage management.
