READING WATCHGUARD LOGS FROM EXTERNAL SOURCE

Hello all, I am new to Watchguard..

Does anyone have any idea what does this mean? Fyi the watchguard is being forwarded to external application which is my current source logs. Here are the example of the logs i have received:

counterd[2246]: [firewall_counter_callback] botnet detection: botnet_src_tested=0
botnet_src_dropped=0 botnet_dst_tested=0 botnet_dst_dropped=0

counterd[2246]: [firewall_counter_callback] GEO blocking: geo_src_tested=0
geo_src_dropped=0 geo_dst_tested=0 geo_dst_dropped=0

counterd[2246]: [firewall_counter_callback] kernel engine: appc_scanned=0
appc_identified=0 appc_dropped=0

counterd[2246]: [firewall_counter_callback] kernel engine: ips_scanned=0
ips_detected=0 ips_prevented=0

Thank you in advance!

    This is what one would see in Traffic Monitor equivalent to the above:

    What is the external application that you are using ?

  • Thanks Bruce.. Is there any way I can study Watchguard Firebox's log message other than this ** https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/logging/read_log-msg.html ** ? Theres not much sample on the net though

    Good morning.
    This link will help describe what each specific statistic is counting.

    There's also a log catalog published for each version of Fireware: https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/fireware/12/en-US/log_catalog/Log-Catalog_PDF.pdf
