Your M590 logs are great while they're fresh. Then the compliance audit lands, or the 'who was on the network last Thursday' question hits, and you realise your local log retention only goes back a few days.
This Cloud Data Retention license extends your M590 (HW SKU WGM590000) log storage to one month in WatchGuard's cloud. One-year term. You keep the same console, the same policy view — you just get a longer tail of searchable history when you need it.
License key only. No new hardware, no separate log server to babysit in the corner. The retention lives in the cloud; your admin pulls reports from the same dashboard they already use.
If 'we'll sort out proper logging' has been on the to-do list for two quarters, this is the smallest step that actually makes it happen
