Why each option
When local disk logging is disabled on a FortiGate, the device stops storing logs on its internal storage, but real-time log data will still be visible on the dashboard.
Disabling local disk logging prevents logs from being saved to the FortiGate's internal storage, but real-time logging processes still capture and display log events on the dashboard for immediate viewing.
Logs are still generated in real-time and visible on the dashboard, just not stored locally.
Disabling local disk logging does not affect the configuration or functionality of alert emails, which are separate notification mechanisms.
Remote logging is a separate configuration and is not automatically enabled or disabled based on the local disk logging setting.
