In short

How do I get alerted when WatchGuard firewall threats cross a threshold?

WebRun checks WatchGuard Cloud every morning for blocked threats and failed login attempts across your Firebox appliances, posts the daily summary to Slack, and escalates to Telegram when the blocked threat count crosses your threshold. It only reads firewall activity, so rule changes stay with your team.

  • Blocked threats and failed logins are summarized every morning
  • Escalation only fires once your threshold is actually crossed
  • Firewall rule changes always stay with your IT team

Questions, answered

Will WebRun change a firewall rule or block an address itself?

No. WebRun only reads blocked threats and failed logins that WatchGuard has already handled. Changing a rule or policy stays with your IT team.

What sets the escalation threshold?

You set the blocked threat count that should trigger a Telegram escalation. WebRun only escalates once that count is reached or crossed.

Does it ever unblock or allow a previously blocked source?

No. WebRun never changes what WatchGuard has blocked or allowed. It only reports on activity that already happened.
