Command Auditing (asg log audit)

Use the CLI command auditing to:

  • Notify users about critical actions they are about to do

  • Obtain confirmation for critical actions

  • Create forensic logs

If users confirm the action, it is necessary to supply their names and provide a reason for running the command.

If the command affects a Critical Device (Pnote), a second confirmation can be required.

For example, if you use administrative privileges to change the state of a 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 to DOWN, the output looks like this:

[Expert@MyChassis-ch0x-0x:0]# asg_sgm_admin -b 2_01 down
