To monitor authentication on cloud-managed Fireboxes and locally-managed Fireboxes with cloud reporting:
- Select Monitor > Devices.
- Select a Firebox.
The Device Summary page for the selected Firebox opens. - Select Live Status > Authentication.
The Authentication page opens.
To open live status in a new window, click in the upper, right corner of the WatchGuard Cloud window.
See Authenticated Users
On the Users tab, you can view the number of Firebox and mobile VPN users authenticated by domain in a color-coded chart and a user details table.
User Details
To specify the type of users to show in the table, select Firewall Users or Mobile VPN Users.
You can sort the table by any column heading. Information about each authenticated user appears in these columns:
User
The user name of the authenticated user.
Domain
The domain the user authenticated from.
Client
The authentication client used to connect to the Firebox.
IP Address (Firewall) / Virtual IP Address (Mobile VPN)
The internal IP address for the user. For mobile VPN users, this is the IP address the Firebox assigns to them.
From Address (Mobile VPN only)
The IP address from which the mobile VPN user accessed the network. Click the IP address to view a map of the ISP location.
Elapsed Time
The amount of time the user was authenticated.
Filter Users by Domain
To filter the table by a specific domain, in the upper-right corner of the table, from the View All Domains drop-down list, select the domain you want to filter on.
Enable or Disable Diagnostic Logs
On the Diagnostics tab, you can enable or disable the diagnostic level for authentication log messages. To maximize the number of log messages generated, enable diagnostic logs when you want to debug an issue.
