Configuring WatchGuard Firebox

Firewall Analyzer supports both WELF and native log formats of WatchGuard Firebox Models v 5.x, 6,x, 7.x, 8.x, 10.x, 11, Firebox X series, x550e, x10e, x1000, x750e

For 8.x version, the XML log file format can be imported by Firewall Analyzer.

Virus reports are supported only for WatchGuard v10.x

For analysing native logs, the configuration is straight forward, you just need to forward the native logs from WatchGuard to the syslog listener ports of Firewall Analyzer.

By default, WatchGuard Firewall logs do not contain the bytes nformation. It just has the size of the packet and header. So one needs to do the following to enable them,
