Overview
When you add a Firebox to WatchGuard Cloud, the Firebox starts sending log messages to WatchGuard Cloud. If you want a Firebox to temporarily stop sending log messages to WatchGuard Cloud, you can disable logging for the device in WatchGuard Cloud. When you disable logging, the Firebox continues to connect to WatchGuard Cloud, but it does not send log messages.
Your operator role determines what you can see and do in WatchGuard Cloud. Your role must have the Devices permission to view or configure this feature. For more information, go to Manage WatchGuard Cloud Operators and Roles.
