SFOS 19.0.0 GA-Build317 : Log Viewer behavior

Question

hello 
 I have server with SFOS v19, I am confused about log viewer. I think that it always show only logs in 10 minutes window. 
 I tried to change time filter (all records ,last 4 hours, 60 minutes, etc.) but it doesn't work . 
 I can only view firewall logs for last 10 minutes, what If I want to view firewall module logs three days or month ago, is this possible ? 
 or I can view them from another place like reports tab. 
 can anyone explain the limits of log viewer. 
 
 thanks a lot

Firewall logs are generated for each packet that matched a firewall rule with logging enabled. So It's huge amount of logs and cannot be stored for a long period. To store these logs for an extended period, you should setup am external syslog server and configure firewall to send logs to that server.

V18.5 MR4 to V19.0 GA is not supported. You need to wait for V19.0 MR1.

You can use V19.0 GA. You cannot restore a V19.0 Backup on a V18.5 Release.
