Hi, Maha.
To integrate a network device, you can use Remote Syslog. These are the steps to configure it:
- https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/log-data-collection/syslog.html

On your Wazuh manager, locate the file /var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf enter the configuration below:
<remote>
     <connection>syslog</connection>
     <port>514</port>
     <protocol>tcp</protocol>
     <allowed-ips>ip_network device</allowed-ips>
     <local_ip>local_ip_of_manager</local_ip>
</remote>


Configure your network device to forward logs to the Wazuh Manager using the syslog protocol:
- https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/cloud-service/your-environment/send-syslog-data.html#rsyslog-on-linux

Restart the Wazuh manager using the command
systemctl restart wazuh-manager


It will probably be necessary to create decoders and rules for the logs. I would recommend the https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/ruleset/ruleset-xml-syntax/decoders.html, it will help you to create your ruleset.

Also, the wazuh-logtest tool can help with the whole process:
- https://documentation.wazuh.com/current/user-manual/capabilities/wazuh-logtest/how-it-works.html

Regards.
Gonzalo.

Hi Maha,

so I think someone has already thought about watchguard decoders. Take a look at the following:

Also you may have a look at 
which descripes the possible log format.
With the Information form Gonzale it should be possible to get it work.


Have a nice 
Marcel
