System Counters

Monitoring System Counters provides in-depth details about Check Point Software Blade usage and activities. As a network administrator you can generate system status information about:

• Resource usage for the variety of components associated with the gateway. For example, the average use of real physical memory, the average percent of CPU time used by user applications, free disk space, and so on.
• Gateway performance statistics for a variety of Firewall components. For example, the average number of concurrent CVP sessions handled by the HTTP security server, the number of concurrent IKE negotiations, the number of new sessions handled by the SMTP security server, and so on.
• Detect and monitor suspicious activity. Network administrators can produce graphs and charts that document the number of alerts, rejected connections, or failed authentication attempts to identify possible intrusion attempts.
