Firebox Visibility in WatchGuard Cloud

Most devices with a Standard Support license (Fireware v12.9 or higher) can be added to WatchGuard Cloud for centralized management. They do not send log messages to WatchGuard Cloud and there is no reporting or data retention. These Fireboxes with Standard Support cannot connect to WatchGuard Cloud:

  • T15
  • T35
  • T55
  • T70

Devices with a Total Security Suite or Basic Security Suite license send log messages to WatchGuard Cloud. The license includes a default retention period for Firebox data in WatchGuard Cloud:

  • For a Firebox with the Total Security Suite:
    • Reports — The data retention period for reports is 30 days plus the number of days associated with the Data Retention license assigned to the Firebox if a Data Retention license is purchased.
    • Log Manager and Log Search — The data retention period for log data for Log Manager and Log Search is 365 days. 10 days of log data (plus the number of days associated with the Data Retention license assigned to the Firebox) is available for fast searches.
  • For a Firebox with the Basic Security Suite:
    • Reports — The data retention period for reports is 1 day plus the number of days associated with the Data Retention license assigned to the Firebox if a Data Retention license is purchased.
    • Log Manager and Log Search — The data retention period for Log Manager and Log Search is 90 days. Fast search is not available with Basic Security Suite unless you purchase a Data Retention License.

To extend the data retention period for Firebox log messages and reports, you can activate a Data Retention license. For more information, go to:
