Scope FortiProxy v7.2.0 and later.
Solution

If trying to generate some local traffic:

 

FortiProxy-VM02 # execute ping service.fortiguard.net
PING guard.fortinet.net (12.34.97.71): 56 data bytes

It is possible to confirm that Local Traffic on the GUI is not displaying any entry. Same behavior is showed on the CLI:

 

FortiProxy-VM02 # execute log filter category 0

FortiProxy-VM02 # execute log display
2384 logs found.
10 logs returned.

There are entries for forward-traffic but no one for the local-traffic.

This behavior is expected because currently FortiProxy kernel only supports generating traffic logs for forward traffic.
Unlike policy controls traffic, local-out/local-in traffic has no place to control the log.


The GUI section 'Local Traffic' was removed from version 7.4.0 and later
