Re: [FW-1] FW-1 Logs



Hi Paul,
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Yes, I have read this Resolution, and as I hinted in my original mail, this
is exactly what I did when I had the Management station on the Nokia
platforms. The problem is that I have now migrated the Management station
to NT (arguably the best platfom for the graphics used by the CheckPoint
system) as I have multiple Nokias to manage. Once you do this the logs are
grabbed by the master station and recorded ON the Management Station
platform (NT). This means that I no longer have an equivalent function to
the Unix "logger" (thank you Microsoft !) with which to route the log data
to a "standard" syslog daemon. We run "Cisco Works for Windows" on a
central management station (we are predominantly Cisco with dozens of
routers and PIX firewalls) and need to collect all data there to enable
central network monitoring. Since Cisco cannot interpret the FW-1 logs in
their native form, I use the "fw log" comand to generate textual output and
the "logger" client to send it over port 514 to CWW.  I realise that I
could run multiple management stations (CLM - log-only CheckPoint stations)
and ship the log data around in its native form, but we are too far down
the road with the Cisco kit to change now, so I must find a text-based
solution using the "fw log" output for preference.
The best I have come up with so far is to generate the log data on the NT
station with "at" running ".bat" scripts and then ftp the results to CWW.
This has many draw-backs though ; what I really need is a small syslog
client for NT. I know a little "C" but just do not have time to write one,
so I was hoping there would be a proprietary solution out
there................
If you can help further, please don't hesitate !
Cheers, Gordon

Go to Nokias support website (http://support.nokia.com/), and register
if you already haven't done so.

When you log in, go the the Knowlege Base link (on the right hand side),
then in the new window put 1315 in the Resolution ID and click Search.

It looks like this explains how to send Firewall-1 logs from the Nokia
to a syslog server.
