It it not clear for which version of the Watchguard firewall the current
converter is working. It is pretty old and I think others reported problem
with recent version of the product.

From reading the code, I can say that it is expecting a log file in
syslog format with a format like:

Jul 16 00:00:39 firewall firewalld[130]: deny out eth1:0 61 udp 20 63 
10.0.2.194 10.0.0.45 1024 53 (DNS-nonaxi)

But like I said, this converter with Watchguard as of two years ago. I'm 
pretty sure that your version is more recent and as a different log format.

Anyway, if you can write a little bit of perl, it's not very hard to implement
your own Dlf converter which will work with your more recent version. There
is a boiler plate converter in doc/examples and if you run in any problems, 
don't hesitate to post here.

Thanks for your interest in LogReport, kind regards,
