Powerful
Logging and Reporting
System Status Updates
SmartView Status, a module that comes
standard with SmartCenter and SmartCenter
Pro, displays a snapshot of the status of
all Check Point products as well as third
party OPSEC products deployed on the
network. It enables administrators to
receive alerts and warnings when certain
predefined conditions critical to the
operation occur.
Real-Time Data Analysis
SmartCenter Server gathers detailed log
information from all VPN-1 and FireWall-1
gateways as well as many OPSEC-certified
security applications. Additionally, it logs
administrator activity, which can
dramatically reduce the time needed to
troubleshoot configuration errors. The
graphical SmartView Tracker uses the logging
data on the server to provide real-time
visual tracking, monitoring, and accounting
information for all connections including
VPN remote user sessions. Administrators can
perform searches on or filter log records to
quickly locate and track events of interest.
In the case of an attack or otherwise
suspicious network activity, administrators
can use SmartView Tracker to temporarily or
permanently terminate connections from
specific IP addresses.

Integrated Reporting
Infrastructure
SmartView Reporter, an optional module,
turns raw log data generated by VPN-1 and
FireWall-1 gateways into actionable
information in the form of comprehensive
pre-defined reports. It integrates with the
SmartCenter and uses the same user and
object definitions stored on the SmartCenter
Server when developing reports. This
eliminates the need for administrators to
replicate information across multiple
elements of a security management
infrastructure and, therefore, reduces
errors and administrative overhead.
