Extension URL

Version 7.x:    https://www.checkpoint.tips/ex/command.json  

Supported devices

• Multi Domain Management Server (MDS + CMAs)
• Security Management Server (SMS)
• SmartEvent server
• Log server
• Gateways:
  • Simple gateways
  • Cluster member
  • VSX gateways
  • Maestro SGMs (gateways)
  • CloudGuard gateways
  • CloudGuard cluster member
  • CloudGuard VMSS gateways

Attention

In some Smart Consoles there is a bug with this function:

smxProxy.sendRequest("run-readonly-command", { "command": "show gateways-and-servers", "parameters": { "details-level": "full" } }, "commit");

This can cause a Smart Console to crash. In this case, you can go to the "Settings / Help" menu and turn off "Enable easy mode". This will use a different function and the crash will no longer occur.

-> Would be happy if Check Point would fix this bug in the API.

To import an extension:

Very good solution!

[the_rock]

excellent!

[MAlter]

Hello @HeikoAnkenbrand,

we had talked about this SmartConsole feature at a German Check Point event. Thank you for creating this so quickly. Tried it this morning on our firewall and it works great.

Thanks
Merthan

[Vladimir]

Yeah, this looks better than using one-time scripts for the same purpose and then reviewing their execution reports.

[Jan_Irani]

wow... this is the swiss army knives of  SCE :-). 

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi Ali,

extra for you now in version 1.8 with "copy to clipboard" button😀.

This was an interesting hack, because the JavaScript function navigator.clipboard.writeText() does not work in SmartConsole extensions.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Now with "Expert Mode" and "CLISH"

[Vladimir]

Awesome!

[Martin_Valenta]

what's the difference versus "one time script" feature?

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi @Martin_Valenta,

With the "One Time Script" you still have to open the window in which the output is displayed.

Start task:
Secetct (gateway) --> Right click --> Scripts --> One Time Script --> Add Command --> Run

Read task answers:
Task in Prozess --> (Search for the correct task) --> Details --> Task Results --> more

- From my point of view, this is an never-ending mouse click game!
- Can't switch quickly between "Expert Mode" and "Clish" either.

[Denis_Wahome_9A]

This is great.

I have tried this on R81.20 Lab environment. Works great so far. Which other versions are supported?

[Dolo]

Very great plugin. 
Is a swiss army knife.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Now in version 1.4 with Maestro and VSX support.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Now with support for long "Onliner" in version 1.5.
In the meantime, there have been some problems with the processing.
This is now solved by using Base64.

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

In version 1.7 I have integrated a command history.
This allows you to quickly execute the last 20 commands again.

[renzi]

Nice plugin!

[ODO]

We using the plugin for one week. Is really a good solution.

With the extension to execute commands on all gateways, we have been able to simplify some of our firewall processes. 

👍

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

After about 800 lines of code, I would like to present you my new "SmartConsole Extention ➜ Execute CLI commands on all gateways simultaneously" in version 2.0.

This allows you to execute Expert Mode commands and CLISH commands from the SmartConsole on all gateways simultaneously.

[Martin_Valenta]

how i it with support for this for SMB devices? in r81.20 mgmt smb "one time scripts" were supposed to be working with r81 smb gateways..

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

New features in version 2.1:
- Open a cli command in SmartConsole with a mouse click and execute the command on a gateway.
- Create your own permanent list with 40 commands.
- Uses a predefined list of with 40 CLI commands.
- Edit the list at any time with your own commands.
- The command list will be permanently maintained, even if you close the SmartConsole and open it again.

[ChrisAM]

Great tool!

Here the settings are not to be seen correctly!

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Hi @ChrisAM.

The bug is fixed in version 3.5.

[Baasanjargal_Ts]

Hello, 

Does it work on Quantum spark 1500 series gateways? 

[PhoneBoy]

In theory it should, however cprid appears to have an issue on SMB appliances I'm not sure is resolved yet: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/SMB-Gateways-Spark/Output-of-cprid-truncated-after-receiving-600... 

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Now the SmartConsole extension Execute Commands with  a selection field to load different command lists quickly.

If you want to add new commands to the list, please post them under the following article.

TOP 40 - Check Point Commands 

Then I will add them in the next few days.

[HRappel]

Very brilliant tool.

[oli007]

Am I understanding this correctly?
I can use the tool to execute commands in expert mode on all gateways simultaneously?

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

Yes, it is correct!

[oli007]

Thanks

WOW - Really nice tool.
