Using ConnectControl for load balancing internal servers with custom health checks

Abhishek_Singh1 — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 15:00:02 GMT

Hi Guys,

We have an requirement of utilizing checkpoint firewall for an Server load-balancing --

Client -> VIP(On Checkpoint) -> Backend pool member

We want to have an custom health check for backend pool members (instead of ping , use http request , response) -- kinda standard load balancing device operation .

Is it possible with ConnectControl feature ?? If yes , how ? I don't find it in the documentation -- https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R80.40/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R80.40_NextGenSecurityGateway_Guide/Content/Topics-FWG/ConnectControl.htm?TocPath=_____30

@PhoneBoy -- Any pointers here 🙂 ??

Years ago, we used to have an agent for this purpose.
However, we haven't supported that for a while.
We certainly don't support checking via HTTP.
If it's a requirement, I recommend engaging with your local office.

Just for the record:

Statement in https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk31162

Important: Starting from R70, Load Measuring Agent for ConnectControl is not supported.
