Log Server Distribution (asg_log_servers)

Description

In SmartConsole, you can configure multiple Log Servers for each Security Gateway object.

In this environment, the Security Gateway sends its logs to all of its configured Log Servers.

Each Security GroupClosed A logical group of Security Appliances that provides Active/Active cluster functionality. A Security Group can contain one or more Security Appliances. Security Groups work separately and independently from each other. To the production networks, a Security Group appears a single Security Gateway. Every Security Group contains: (A) Applicable Uplink ports, to which your production networks are connected; (B) Security Appliances (the Quantum Maestro Orchestrator determines the applicable Downlink ports automatically); (C) Applicable management port, to which the Check Point Management Server is connected. Member sends its logs to all Log Servers in the configuration.

To reduce the load on the Log Servers, enable the distribution of different Log Servers to different Security Groups.

When enabled, each Security Group Member sends its logs to one Log Server only.

Note - You cannot configure the Security Group Member to send its logs to a specific Log Server. Distribution is automatic.

The Security Group automatically decides which Log Server is assigned to which Security Group Member.
