Real-time Monitoring : Skyline
Solution for real-time monitoring of the Quantum Family devices.
Skyline quickly and efficiently monitors your Check Point servers with industry-standard software and protocols (OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Grafana).
Skyline provides an OpenTelemetry CPView Agent service. The OpenTelemetry CPView Agent runs on a Check Point server to collect and export health metrics from the Check Point CPView tool to an external location.
The Skyline architecture includes three primary components:

|
OpenTelemetry Collector |
Runs on Check Point servers. An open-source service that receives metrics from multiple Agents and exports them to an external endpoint (a different OpenTelemetry Collector or a Prometheus Remote-Write). |
