Here are some highlights from the week's activity on CheckMates:
Our latest TechTalk was held this week on using the R80.10 API to automate and orchestrate your security. Ryan Darst gave a great demo and there were a lot of questions. Watch the video and access the materials!
One of the tools used to demonstrate the R80 API was a tool called Postman. We had a "collection" for the R80 API and recently added one for R80.10. And of course, there were some questions!
In case you haven't seen yet, CPLogToSyslog is now available for R80.10 as it was published for other releases a few weeks back! Improved syslog support (beyond what CPLogToSyslog provides) is planned in the coming months. Watch the Logging, Monitoring, & Event Analysis for more details!
If you want to leverage the unified policy feature in R80.10, you'll need to stop using some legacy features, which do not support the unified policy.
There are a couple of options from converting your standalone gateway (with integrated management) to a distributed configuration.
