Get Statistics on Quarantine Server Activity

With the release of Fireware v12.8, WatchGuard announced the deprecation of the WatchGuard Log Server, Report Server, and Quarantine Server. WSM still includes these server components, but they are no longer supported in v12.9 and higher. We will remove them in a future WSM release.

The Quarantine Server stores the total number of messages, the reason each message was quarantined, and the number of messages deleted manually or automatically. You can see these statistics from the Quarantine Server Client.

From WatchGuard System Manager:

  1. Select Tools > Quarantine Server Client.
    For more information, go to About the Quarantine Server Client.
    The Quarantine Server Message and User Management dialog box appears.
  2. Select View > Statistics.

See Statistics from Specific Dates

You can limit the statistics to see only messages from a specified range of dates:

  1. From the Quarantine Server Statistics dialog box, select Select dates.
  2. Type the start and end dates in the From and To fields.

See Specific Types of Messages 

You can specify whether you want to see statistics only for messages that are suspected spam, confirmed spam, or part of bulk mailings, or that contain or possibly contain viruses. Select the Select only these messages radio button, then choose the type or types of messages you want to see.

Bulk and Suspect categories are not supported by the current spamBlocker engine. For more information, go to this Knowledge Base article.

Group Statistics by Month, Week, or Day

By default, only summary data is shown. You can see the data grouped by month, week, or day.

  1. From the Quarantine Server Statistics dialog box, select Break the data into groups.
  2. Select an option: By Month, By Week, or By Day.
