View the Device Configuration Report

Applies To: Cloud-managed Fireboxes, WatchGuard Cloud-managed Access Points

For a cloud-managed device, each deployment creates a configuration file for the device, and each configuration has a version number. To see the device configuration settings in a deployed configuration version, view the Configuration Report. You can view the Configuration Report for any deployment, regardless of the deployment status.

To compare configuration versions, click Compare Versions. For more information, go to Compare Configuration Versions.

For cloud managed-Fireboxes only, you can also download the configuration file for the most recent deployment.

WatchGuard Cloud keeps Deployment History information while a device is cloud-managed. If you remove a device from WatchGuard Cloud, Deployment History information is deleted after one year.

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.
