Checkpoint VRRP cluster

[-K-]

Hi All,

we have VRRP cluster enabled on the security gateways and would like to see when VRRP flap occurred and state has been changed from Master to Backup. (which specific keywords to look /var/log/messages) i tried to look for "down,state,change,master" but not so clear about that.

Also, is there any ways we can check VRRP status for specific gateway that when the last failover/state change occured and since when VRRP state is UP and no failover happened.

Any pointer please.

I believe the clish command show vrrp interfaces will show you what you’re after.

Going forward, I'd suggest enabling "Send Syslog messages to management server" in Gaia as well as SNMP traps for VRRP, if you have an SNMP platform in place.

Are you looking for specific alert to be sent when this happens?

Mainly i would like to understand one of the box which is in Master state is in master state since how long..?

when it was last flapped

That doesn't work for VRRP since ClusterXL is only used for sync in that case.
The command I provided (show vrrp interfaces) will tell you when the last state change occurred.

You are absolutely right, I did not think of that : )
