Can Check Point Skyline be deployed to a Software-based Firewall without a Physical Gateway?

Network007 — Thu, 09 May 2024 01:57:00 GMT

Hi Check Mates,

I'm looking to set up and begin testing Skyline in a lab environment. Will I require a Physical Gateway in order to test Skyline or is it possible to achieve this using this configuration:

- Virtual Machine (OS Linux) hosting Prometheus and Grafana Servers

- Sofware-based Check Point Firewall and Management Server (Stand alone configuration)

- Operating Machine to access Management Server (Smart Console)

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi @Network007 ,

Skyline doesn't require a physical gateway, a VM would work, however the data set available is different per a specific configurations. So for instance, no hardware related statistics.

Yes, this should be ok.
