SmartView Monitor Use Cases

Use SmartView Monitor to:

• Create a Traffic view and report to identify the reasons for slow internet access. The view can be based on an inspection of: Specific Services, Firewall rules or Network Objects, that can be known to impede the flow of internet traffic. If the SmartView Monitor Traffic view indicates that users aggressively use such Services or Network Objects (for example, Peer to Peer application or HTTP), the cause of the slow internet access is determined. If aggressive use is not the cause, the network administrator have to look at other avenues. For instance, performance degradation can be the result of memory overload.
• Create a report to determine why employees who work away from the office cannot connect to the network. The view can be based on CPU Use %, to collect information about the status, activities hardware and software use of Check Point products in real-time. The SmartView Monitor Counter view can indicate that there are more failures than successes. Perhaps the company cannot accommodate the number of employees that try to log on at the same time?
