172 Firebox X Edge e-Series
4. Select the Send logs in native XML format check box to have the Edge log messages sent to the
WatchGuard Log Server in the XML format standard for Fireware v8.0 or higher. The WSM/Log Server
installation must be WSM v8.3 or greater.
If you select this option, the Edge generates log messages in native XML, which includes more detail
for each log message. This allows the WSM administrator to create Reports that include these details
for the Edge.
If you keep this check box unselected, the Edge sends log messages in the proprietary format used
with WFS appliance software v7.x. The Log Server then converts the log messages to XML.
5. Below Primary Log Server, type the IP address of the primary Log Server in the Log Server IP Address
field.
6. Type a passphrase in the Log Encryption Key field and confirm the passphrase in the Confirm Key
field.
The same passphrase must also be used when the Log Server is configured to receive log messages
from this Firebox X Edge.
7. If you have a backup Log Server available, type its IP address and Log Encryption Key.
If the Firebox X Edge cannot connect to the primary Log Server, it tries to connect to the backup Log
Server. It sends log messages to the backup Log Server until the primary Log Server becomes available.
When the Firebox X Edge can again connect to the primary Log Server, it automatically starts to send
log messages to the primary Log Server again.
