Accessing the Web Client

Firewall Analyzer is essentially a firewall, VPN, and proxy server log analysis tool that collects, stores, and reports on logs from distributed firewalls, and proxy servers on the network.

Once the server has successfully started, follow the steps below to access Firewall Analyzer.

1. Open a supported web browser window
2. Type the URL address as http://<hostname>:8500 (where <hostname> is the name of the machine on which Firewall Analyzer is running, and 8500 is the default web server port)
3. Log in to Firewall Analyzer using the default username/password combination of admin/admin.

Once you log in, you can start collecting firewall logs, generate reports, and more.

If you want to access the web client from the same machine on which Firewall Analyzer is installed, execute the startClient.bat/.sh file from the <FirewallAnalyzer_Home>/bin directory.

On a Windows machine, you can also access the web client from the Start menu by clicking on Start > Programs > ManageEngine Firewall Analyzer 5 > Firewall Analyzer Web Client. On a Windows machine, you can also access the web client from the System Tray by right-clicking on Firewall Analyzer Tray Icon > Start Web Client.
