Need to separate log server from management server

[Vignesh_RS]

We have a R80.30 Management server with log enabled locally, now due to storage issue we want to separate the management server and log server. We already have SmartEvent license in Management server, do we need to purchase separate license for the this requirement.

Yes, or move the existing license, which you may be able to do depending on the SKUs you’ve purchased.

Do we have any SK for moving the license?

[PhoneBoy · Accepted solution]

This generally requires Account Services assistance.

Hi, I am looking to do the same but I can't find much info regarding implementation or config guides or what the requirements of the logging servers are. Did you complete successfully?

Installing a dedicated log server is covered in the install/upgrade guide for your version, e.g. https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.20_Installation_and_Upgrade_Gui...

In terms of hardware, either use an appropriately sized Smart-1 appliance or review the specs on the Smart-1 Datasheet for relevant sizing guidance for your VM/Open Server installation.
