Graylog Illuminate is available for use with Graylog Operations and Graylog Security. Contact sales to learn more about obtaining Graylog Illuminate.

WatchGuard's Firebox is a unified security platform that covers traditional traffic, protecting an environment from intrusions, phishing attempts, malware, ransomware, and more. Both the hardware and virtual Firebox appliances are feature rich, allowing the appliance to run features such as stateful firewall, IPS, application control, web blocker, VPN, and more. This technology pack will process Firebox event log messages, providing normalization and enrichment of common events of interest.

Requirement(s):

  • Watchguard Firebox running Fireware 12.x

  • Graylog Server with a valid Enterprise license, running Graylog version 4.2.5, 4.3.0, or later.

  • Watchguard Firebox configured to send logs to Graylog via syslog

Stream Configuration:

This technology pack includes one stream:

  • "Illuminate:WatchGuard Device Messages”

If this stream does not exist prior to the activation of this pack, then it will be created and configured to route messages to this stream and the associated index set. There should not be any stream rules configured for this stream.

Index Set Configuration:

This technology pack includes one index set definition:

  • “WatchGuard Device Logs”

If this index set is already defined, then nothing will be changed. If this index set does not exist, then it will be created with default retention settings of a daily rotation and 90 days of retention, with 4 shards per index. It is strongly recommended to review and adjust these settings to best suit your environment.
