Monitoring SNMP Thresholds

You can see an overview of the SNMP thresholds that you configure in SmartView Monitor.

To see an overview of the SNMP thresholds:

1. Open SmartView Monitor and select a Security Gateway Dedicated Check Point server that runs Check Point software to inspect traffic and enforce Security Policies for connected network resources..

2. In the summary of the Security Gateway data that open in the bottom pane, click System Information.

3. In the new pane that opens, click Thresholds.

   In the pane that opens, you can see these details:

   • General Info - A summary of the SNMP Threshold policy.

     • Policy name - The name that you set for the policy in the CLI.

     • State - If the policy is enabled or disabled.

     • Thresholds - How many thresholds are enabled.

     • Active events - How many thresholds are currently sending alerts.

     • Generated Events - How many not active thresholds became active since the policy was installed.

   • Active Events - Details for the thresholds that are currently sending alerts.

     • Name - The name of the alert (given in the CLI).

     • Category - The category of the alert (given in the CLI), for example, Hardware or Resources.

     • MIB object - The name of the object as recorded in the MIB file.

     • MIB object value - The value of the object when the threshold became active, as recorded in the MIB file.

     • State - The status of the object: active or clearing (passed the threshold but returns to usual value).

     • Severity - The severity of that threshold, as you configured for it in the CLI.

Synonym: Single-Domain Security Management Server. to the destination machine.

     • Alert Count - How many alerts were sent to the destination from when the policy started.

   • Errors - Shows thresholds that cannot be monitored.

     For example, the Security Gateway cannot monitor RAID sensors on a machine that does not have RAID sensors. Therefore, it shows an error for the RAID Sensor Threshold.
