Question about licnese

[RemoteUser]

Hi mates,

Hope you’re all doing well.

I have a quick question regarding the license. The customer informed me that new firewalls have been purchased, and this should increase the log storage space on the Smart-1 Cloud. However, it seems that the log space remains unchanged.

Do we need to perform any manual action on our side, or is the update supposed to be automatic?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I do not think purchasing new hardware will increase the log storage on Smart-1 Cloud. You have to buy additional Smart-1 Cloud licenses. Keep in mind there are two types.

Retention licenses. Telling you how long data is kept.
Log Ingestion licenses. Telling you the daily log ingestion into Smart-1 Cloud.

So check if this was also purchased with the new hardware.

Hi Martijn, thank you.

Could you please let me know where I can verify whether the purchased license type is Retention or Log Ingestion?

Martijn is correct. new hardware will not increase the log storage on Smart-1 Cloud. You have to purchase additional license for log ingestion.

Additionally, you can optimize the log ingestion by following below sk,

Thank you. The customer informed me that an additional license was purchased for this gateway. However, how can I verify this?

When I check the log ingestion, it still appears to be the same, so I’m wondering if I might be missing something.

Thanks.

Verify it with "Service & Contracts" menu. You can find this option in,

Infinity portal --> Smart1-cloud --> Global Settings --> Contracts.

Sync it to get updated information. If still it is not updated then please contact Checkpoint license service option in Toll free number.

For log ingestion information, you can check here.

Still the same even after synchronization: it's time to contact checkpoint.
thanks a lot @Gaurav_Pandya
