NCM device template for Checkpoint Firewalls

Has not had a lot of testing.

If you test this, please comment here so we can improve it and make it part of a future NCM release.

  • Good to hear that. The login test you mentioned run the "Version" command. That's why you see the config in the result.

  • Actually, doing the test does not show the configuration, but when I go into Configuration Management and manually download the config, it does pull it. So, I'm all set. Thanks again,

  • Thanks, Jiri. I tried that and it does not show the config in the test results. I have this in there........

    <Command Name="Version" Value="ver"/>

            <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show configuration"/>

    When I click test, I can see the "ver" command run and it shows the version information. I don't see it running the "show configuration" command and so don't see any results for that.

  • Add

    <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="show configuration"/>

    and it should work. Not sure if this device has startup and running configs. The above basic template will download the output of "show configuration" in both cases.

    I'm not sure if Checkpoint has something like Cisco's "show version" (i.e. some summary info). If yes, use it for the "Version" command in the template.

  • First, I am very much a rookie with SolarWinds NCM.........Anyone made any improvements on this template to use with R7 devices? I made a copy of the template, changing it to R7. I removed the whole SCP row and added in one that runs "show configuration" at the end. In testing, it seems like it works and I see the whole config in the test results. However, if I apply this template to my Checkpoints, it's not pulling the configs. Here's my template file......
