On the Traffic Monitor page, you can see log messages from your Firebox as they occur. This can help you troubleshoot network performance. For example, you can see which policies are used most, or whether external interfaces are constantly used to their maximum capacity.
On the Gateway Wireless Controller page, you can monitor the connection status and activity on your WatchGuard AP devices. You can also monitor and manage the client connections to your WatchGuard AP devices.
On the Geolocation page, you can monitor the activity of network traffic by geographic location as identified by the Geolocation feature.
On the Mobile Security page, you can monitor the mobile devices that are connected to your network.
On the Network Discovery page, you can see a tree map view of all the devices on your network that are connected to the interfaces on your Firebox, and see detailed information for each connected device.

On some of the System Status pages, you must use Device Administrator credentials to complete some of the administrative actions available on the page. For example, on the Authentication List page, you must be connected with Device Administrator credentials to log off users who have authenticated to the device.
If you are connected to a FireCluster with the cluster backup master IP address, and have logged in to the device with Device Administrator credentials, the options to complete these administrative actions are not available. You must connect to the FireCluster with the cluster master IP address, and log in with Device Administrator credentials, to make such changes to the FireCluster.
