Data for the status of all gateways in the system is collected by the Security Management Server and viewed in SmartView Monitor. The data shows status for:
Gateway Status is the SmartView Monitor view which shows all component status information. A Gateway Status view shows a snapshot of all Software Blades, such as VPN and ClusterXL, and third party products (for example, OPSEC-partner gateways).
Gateway Status is similar in operation to the SNMP daemon that provides a mechanism to get data about gateways in the system.
SIC is initialized between Security Gateways (3) (local and remote), and the Security Management Server (2). The Security Management Server then gets status data from the Software Blades with the AMON (Application Monitoring) protocol. SmartView Monitor (1) gets the data from the Security Management Server.
