I'm putting this in the general Management space as the space you had posted this to wasn't public Smiley Happy

Nice summary document and initiative Donovan. Tufin is one of our technology partners who also includes  documentation that our readers may find helpful. Their links and version support may change over time so start at the high level and include some current snapshots. Would also encourage our customers and partners to check the Tufin site for the latest information.

I guess it would be worth adding basic troubleshooting steps as we had number of issues with API dying or crashing on MDS  after Tufin calls. Bugs with API on CP side I'm afraid. Still present with Take 142 - fixed one CMA and broke another Smiley Happy

These logs help to identify issues fairly quickly to raise quality SR.

Look for api.elg log file, in MDS case in $MDS_FWDIR/log

I have no logs from regular SMS so I will give example of CMA case below. MDS main IP = 10.10.16.100, CMA = 10.10.16.109 and Tufun 10.10.16.50.

API call is made by Tufin "show packages details-level full offset 0 limit 200" and it ends with API error

You can then run the same commands manually directly on MDS/CMA and replicate the issue and narrow it down - in this particular case "show packages" actually worked but not with details level full. Playing more we were able to identify that issue was with one single package.
