Enviroment Overview Dashboard

The CheckPoint Addon Environment Overview dashboard provides a detailed view of the infrastructure, including clusters and devices, allowing to monitor key metrics and relationships. The dashboard includes real-time data on device health, object relationships, and alerts. It also enables users to track system status and performance metrics through interactive elements like the Metric Picker, Metric Chart, and Object Relationship view.

CheckPoint - Environment Overview

Collected objects

Relationships

In the CheckPoint Addon, relationships between objects are essential for effectively managing and monitoring the CheckPoint infrastructure. The diagram illustrates the interconnections between objects within the SmartConsole environment.

Relations between collected objects

The relationship diagram outlines a hierarchy starting with the 'Check Point SmartConsole Adapter Instance'. The hierarchy is organized as follows:

  • The 'Check Point SmartConsole Adapter Instance' connects to the 'Check Point SmartConsole Cluster', representing clusters of devices within the infrastructure.
  • The 'Check Point SmartConsole Cluster' links to the 'Check Point SmartConsole Device', providing detailed insights into the devices included in each cluster.

Check Point SmartConsole Adapter Instance

A Check Point Adapter efers to network interfaces on Security Gateways or cluster members. These adapters are configured within SmartConsole to define network topology, assign IP addresses, and set roles such as internal, external, or synchronization interfaces. Proper configuration of these adapters is crucial for accurate traffic routing and effective security policy enforcement.

Check Point SmartConsole Cluster

A Check Point SmartConsole cluster consists of two or more security gateways working together to provide high availability and load balancing. This ensures uninterrupted network operations even if one of the cluster members fails. SmartConsole simplifies cluster creation and configuration with step-by-step wizards, allowing administrators to define cluster properties, member topology, synchronization interfaces, and IP addresses.

Data NameTypeDescription
ClusterPropertyDefines the cluster type and its configuration for high availability and load balancing.
NamePropertyThe unique name assigned to the Check Point SmartConsole Cluster.
IPPropertyThe IP address used for the cluster's network communication.
Cluster StatusPropertyDisplays the current operational status of the cluster, including active and standby members.
Additional InfoPropertyProvides extra details about the cluster's configuration and status.
Cluster LoadMetricMonitors and shows the current load distribution across cluster members.

Check Point SmartConsole Device

A Check Point Device refers to any hardware or virtual appliance running Check Point software, including Security Gateways, Management Servers, and cluster members. Within SmartConsole, administrators can manage these devices by configuring their properties, monitoring performance, and deploying security policies. SmartConsole provides a centralized platform to oversee all Check Point devices in the network, ensuring cohesive security management.
