WatchGuard Firebox System
Launching LogViewer
The LogViewer application displays a static view of
a log file. You can filter by type, search for keywords and
fields, and print and save log data to a separate file. For
more information, see “Reviewing and Working with Log
Files” on page 221.
Launching HostWatch
The HostWatch application displays active connec-
tions occurring on a Firebox in real time. It can also graphi-
cally represent the connections listed in a log file, either
playing back a previous file for review or displaying con-
nections as they are added to the current log file. For more
information, see “HostWatch” on page 167.
Launching Historical Reports
Historical Reports is a report-building tool that cre-
ates HTML reports displaying session types, most active
hosts, most used services, URLs, and other data useful in
monitoring and troubleshooting your network. For more
information, see “Generating Reports of Network Activ-
ity” on page 235.
Opening the WSEP user interface
The WatchGuard Security Event Processor (WSEP)
controls logging, report schedules, and notifica-
tion. It also provides timing services for the Fire-
box. The WSEP automatically runs when you start the
machine on which it is installed.
Unlike other Firebox System applications, the WSEP but-
ton does not appear in System Manager. To open the WSEP,
right-click the WatchGuard Security Event Processor icon
