Configuration Notes

We recommend that you install Cyfin Reporter on the same box with the WatchGuard Log Server for easier configuration and speed.

Before trying to connect Cyfin Reporter to your WatchGuard Log Server (PostgreSQL), make sure you have selected to Send logs to WSM Server on the WatchGuard Logging page.

You will need the following information to connect Cyfin to the WatchGuard Log Server PostgreSQL logs:

  • Server Name
  • Database
  • Port
  • Username
  • Password

Off-Box Instructions

If you install Cyfin Reporter on a different box from the WatchGuard Log Server, then you will need to configure the WatchGuard Log Server to allow the IP address of the box that Cyfin Reporter is installed on to connect to the PostgreSQL database. Follow the below instructions to do this.

  1. Open the file pg_hba.conf and edit IPv4 local connections by adding a new line with the allowed IP address. Follow the example below, and put the IP address of the box that Cyfin Reporter is installed on in the place of "IPAddress".

    host all all IPAddress/32 md5

  2. Select the Reload Configuration option under PostgreSQL Install. You should now be able to continue on and connect Cyfin Reporter to your WatchGuard Log Server.

Please see the configuration notes above for further information.
