Integration Topology
This diagram outlines the topology used for the Fastvue Reporter and WatchGuard Firebox integration.
Before You Begin
Before you begin these procedures, make sure that:
- You have a Fastvue account
Firebox Configuration
This example uses the internal trusted IP address of 192.168.150.1 and the Windows server at 192.168.150.3. The configuration steps in this section use Fireware Web UI.
Syslog logging output from the WatchGuard Firebox is unencrypted. We recommend that you do not send unencrypted log messages on public networks.
Enable Syslog
To enable syslog for your Firebox:
- Log in to Fireware Web UI at:
https://<your Firebox IP address>:8080 - Select System > Logging.
The Logging page opens. - Select the Syslog Server tab.
- Select the Send Log Messages to These Syslog Servers check box.
- Click Add.
The Syslog Server dialog box opens. - In the IP Address text box, type the IP address of your Windows server.
- In the Port text box, type 514. This is the default port of the Syslog protocol.
- From the Log Format drop-down list, select IBM LEEF.
- In the Description text box, enter a description to describe this syslog server.
- Select the The serial number of the device check box.
- Clear the The syslog header check box.
- Click OK.
- Click Save.
Configure Referer and Content Type Logging
To use Fastvue Site Clean technology, you must configure your Firebox to log referrer URLs and content types.
To configure referer and content type logging for HTTP Request:
- Log in to Fireware Web UI at:
https://<your Firebox IP address>:8080 - Select Firewall > Proxy Actions.
The Policy Actions page opens

The Clone page opens - From the HTTP Request drop-down list, select Header Fields.

- Select Firewall > Proxy Actions.
- Select HTTPS-Client.Standard (Predefined), then click Clone to clone a new HTTPS proxy action template.
The Clone page opens. - In the Domain Names section, click Add to add a new Domain Name for content inspection.
The Add Rule dialog box opens.
- In the Rule Name and Value text boxes, enter a pattern of a domain in which you want to do a content inspection. For this example, we used *.bing.com.
- From the Match Type drop-down list, select Pattern Match.
- From the Action drop-down list, select Inspect.
- Select the Log check box.
- From the Proxy Action drop-down list, select the HTTP proxy action you just created. In this example, we selected HTTP-Client.Standard.1.

Configure Proxy Policy
You can configure a TCP-UDP-Proxy to log all outbound traffic on your Firebox and report it to Fastvue.
To configure TCP-UDP-Proxy:
- Log in to Fireware Web UI at:
https://<Firebox IP Address>:8080 - Select Firewall > Firewall Policies.
The Policies page opens. - Click Add Policy.
The Add Firewall Policy page opens. - In the Select a policy type section, select Proxies.

The Add page opens. - Select the Proxy Action tab.

- Select the General tab.
- Select the Enable logging for reports check box.
- Keep the default values for all other settings.
- Click Save.
- (Optional) If you configured a custom HTTPS redirection, download the Proxy Authority certificate used for content inspection from the Certificate Portal at http://<Firebox IP address>:4126/certportal, and install the certificate on the computer you want to do content inspection on.
Install the Proxy Authority certificate with your Trusted Root Certification Authorities, and restart browser after installation.
