Skyline - a new monitoring solution for Check Point devices - on EA now

Hi,

I am excited to announce the availability of Skyline - Check Point’s new solution for real-time monitoring of the Quantum Family devices.

Skyline uses modern technologies (based on OpenTelemetry) to report telemetry data from Check Point devices, and is designed to fit your existing monitoring environments - or you can create a simple new monitoring server using Prometheus and Grafana.

 

You can view a short presentation + demo of Skyline in this video.

More details on Skyline and how to set it up can be found in sk178566.

Disclaimer: This Early Availability version reports a basic set of monitoring data, that will be enhanced in the future.

Please contact me for any questions on Skyline.

Hi @Sven_Glock ,

Unfortunately, we decided to postpone for now support for PULL (scraping) based solutions. After an internal discussion, some security concerns were brought up, that lead us believe the more correct approach as CheckPoint is for now to support only remote push solutions, we will update in the future on any change regarding this decision.

It seems like Grafana Mimir supports Prometheus remote write - So the same configuration can be applied here as on a normal Prometheus instance.

Hi @sravanan17 

Unfortunately no. However, the release intended for Q1 2024, will also include the ability to add custom metrics from your side ( You can add your scripts using a command line tool to report your intended metrics as part of the Skyline flow ), so It will open up the possibility for you to add those metrics on the meantime, or use a community based scripts to do it instead.

Would it be possible to get SNMP OID output to pass it over custom metrics ? Custom script something like "get every XY minutes the number of permanent VPN tunnels over snmpwalk and report it to skyline".

Kind regards,

There will be some limitations for safety measures. However, the script can be any script as long as it is preserving a constant format output. Interval will be defined as part of adding the script.
