Overview

This extension leverages the SNMP protocol to provide a complete solution to monitor Check Point Firewall Devices. The complete configuration is provided out-of-the-box.

This is intended for users, who:

  • Would like to monitor health state and performance of their Check Point Firewall devices and provide unified analysis for Ops, DevOps and IT Admins.

This enables you to:

  • Monitor health and performance of your Check Point Firewall devices
  • Use an included alert configuration to be alerted if a monitored interface goes into a 'down' state.
  • Set up alerts to be notified by traffic anomalies

Use cases

  • Monitor Check Point Firewall devices by polling data for Network Devices and Interfaces.
  • Enable alerting on detected anomalies
  • Use with the Infrastructure and Operations App for an overview of all monitored Network Devices in the environment.

Get started

Simply activate the extension in your environment using in-product Hub, provide device configuration and you’re all set up.

More information can be found in the SNMP Extension Documentation

Details

This extension is built on top of the Extension 2.0 Framework.

The extension package contains:

  • SNMP Data Source configuration
  • New and Classic Dashboard Overviews
  • Unified Analysis Screens
  • Topology definition and entity extraction rules
  • Generic Network Topology Support

More information can be found in the Product News Blog:

  • Simplified observability for your SNMP devices

Compatibility information

  • This extension is to be used with Check Point Firewalls only.
  • SNMPv2c and SNMPv3 supported only.

License Consumption

This extension runs most SNMP queries every minute. Once data is produced, this is ingested as metric datapoints and subject to license consumption. Whether you are on a Classic or DPS license model, the measurement unit for metric ingestion is based on metric datapoints.

Below is a breakdown of metrics by feature set only including metrics collected once per minute (there are two metrics in the default feature set that are collected at a 30 minute interval):

default: 11 x Check Point Firewall Devices

Check Point Device: 14 x Check Point Firewall Devices

Interfaces: 12 x Check Point Firewall Interfaces

neighbor-discovery: 1 x LLDP Neighbor

For example, if there is a monitoring configuration with all feature sets enabled, containing 1 Check Point Firewall with 1 interface, and 1 LLDP Neighbor, the estimated yearly datapoint consumption is as described below:

38 x 60 x 24 x 365 = 19,972,800 metric datapoints per year

Classic Licensing

In the classic licensing model, metric ingestion will consume Davis Data Units (DDUs) at the rate of .001 DDUs per metric data point.

Multiply the above formula for annual data points by .001 to estimate annual DDU usage.

Troubleshooting

  • To troubleshoot this extension, use the guide(s) in the Dynatrace Community, and Dynatrace Documentation.
