Logfile Setup
Logfile Type: Watchguard Firebox (XML
Format)
Default Directory: (drive):\My Documents\My WatchGuard\Shared WatchGuard\reports
Configuration Notes
If your Firebox version logs to the XML format, there is very little that you need to do besides point Cyfin Reporter to the directory where the logs are stored!
NOTE: WatchGuard HTTP proxy logging must be turned on to supply the logging information required for reports.
The Watchguard logs should appear as .xml files in the following path: (drive):\Watchguard Logs\...
WARNING: By upgrading to the WatchGuard Fireware® 10 and Edge 10 OS releases for WatchGuard Firebox X Peak, Core and Edge families of appliances, you will lose the XML log file function from your previous version. The logging will default to using the PostGRE SQL database storage format. This change makes the logging from your Watchguard firewall incompatible with the Cyfin Reporter application. The Firebox Core series does offer WSM (Watchguard System Manger) software that allows you go convert the database into a text file for use with the Cyfin Reporter application. The Edge series firewalls do not offer this WSM option.
