Watchguard Network Security Practice Test

To report on Device Management users' changes to device configuration, what should you do?

1. Start Firebox System Manager and review Management Users activity

2. Connect to Report Manager or Dimension and view the Audit Trail report

3. Open WatchGuard Server Center for configuration history

4. Send audit trail log messages to WatchGuard Log Server

The correct answer is: Connect to Report Manager or Dimension and view the Audit Trail report

To report on Device Management users' changes to device configuration, utilizing Report Manager or Dimension to view the Audit Trail report is the most effective approach. This method allows administrators to track any modifications made by users who are managing the device. The Audit Trail report provides a detailed history of actions taken, including who made the change, what the change was, and when it occurred. This information is crucial for compliance and security auditing purposes, as it ensures accountability and enables tracking of configuration management. The Audit Trail is specifically designed for monitoring user actions within a network device’s management interface, making it the ideal tool for gaining insights into configuration changes. It aggregates the necessary data into a manageable report format, providing clarity and ease of access. While reviewing Management Users activity in Firebox System Manager can provide some insights, it may not offer the comprehensive detail and historical context available in the Audit Trail report. Similarly, checking configuration history within WatchGuard Server Center focuses more on the configurations themselves rather than on the user actions associated with those configurations. Sending audit trail log messages to WatchGuard Log Server is also a useful practice, but it serves a different purpose: logging to a centralized location rather than directly viewing changes and actions taken.
