In WatchGuard Cloud, you can configure notification rules to generate alerts and send email notifications for device events about your wireless access points.
Access Point Notification Types
For each
Device Alarms
Generates an alert for alarm events received from Fireboxes and access points. The Device Alarms rule generates device notifications for many types of alert conditions for both Firebox and access point devices. This might increase the volume of email messages you receive if the delivery method in the notification rule is Email.
