Monitoring Security Groups over SNMP

You can use SNMP to monitor different aspects of the Security Group, including:

  • Software versions

  • Hardware status

  • Key performance indicators

  • High Availability status

Enabling SNMP Monitoring of Security Groups

Step

Instructions

1

Upload these Check Point MIB files from a Security Group Member in the applicable Security Group to your third-party SNMP monitoring software:

  • The SNMP MIB file:

    $CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt.mib

  • The SNMP Trap MIB file:

    $CPDIR/lib/snmp/chkpnt-trap.mib

2

Connect to the command line on the Security Group.

3

Log in to Gaia Clish.

4

Go to Gaia gClish: enter gclish and press Enter.

5

Enable the Gaia SNMP Agent:

set snmp agent on

save config
