Selected Q&A is listed below the video.
No, it's free of charge.
Quantum Security Gateways and Quantum Security Management. This includes VSX, Multi-Domain, and Maestro. Data may vary according to the precise configuration. Quantum Spark appliances are not supported at the moment, but we are planning to do so in the future,
OpenTelemetry is an open source protocol. While we can only answer regarding our specific implementation, it is generally used in the market and integrates with various products.
It is fairly minimal. We currently don't recommend using on VSX gateways with more than 10 VS as each VS currently runs its own daemon.
Yes, it will be integrated into the latest JHF for R80.40 and above when the solution is GA. You will not need to explicitly install it as is required now during EA.
It is possible to install Prometheus and Grafana into a container. We don't provide one, though.
SmartEvent is more related to Security statistics like logs. We are aiming more for device health statistics.
Every 15 seconds, we send a burst of data from the gateway that is approximately 2mb.
Check Point felt Prometheus suited the use case best and is what we officially support. You can change the OpenTelemetry settings to use Influx or another compatible solution, if you prefer.
Logs metrics are currently not integrated to Skyline, we are planning to expand the exposed data as part of our roadmap.
Not currently.
Currently, no, but it is planned for the future.
If you have requirements for specific rmetrics, please communicate those with us. We are adding metrics based on customer feedback.
Yes
Yes, and individual SGMs can be monitored as well.
We will have some pre-defined templates available in the Skyline sk.
This is independent from SmartEvent and leverages third party products (Grafana, Prometheus) that can be used for similar purposes on other vendors devices that can export via OpenTelemetry. This is expected to be something we offer via Infinity Portal in the future.
Yes, the data is there, and you can customize your views and dashboard any way you like.
The heavy lifting is done on the Prometheus/Grafana servers.
Yes
Alerting can be set up in Grafana.
Yes, this is in the roadmap.
No, but the gateways do need to be a supported version (R80.40 and above)
Can be done, yes, but the integration takes place with Grafana.
In the initial phase, we are focusing on Quantum products. We do plan to add OpenTelemetry support for various products in other product pillars.
Skyline will be integrated into releases and JHFs starting from R80.40. There is currently no plan to include Grafana and/or Prometheus within the Gaia images, but will consider it based on feedback.
Currently, only live data is sent. If there is a connectivity issue, the data from that time period will be lost. However, once the connectivity issue is resolved, devices should resume sending data.
There is a very small overlap. We are focusing on providing the telemetry versus proactive monitoring.
While it hasn't been tested, we are not aware of any reason why you can't.
Not currently, but it is planned.
Yes
Not currently, but it is on the roadmap.
At the moment, no, but it is a use case we are looking at.
Not at this point, but we are working on that already, and we expect to add Skyline capabilities to Spart in the upcoming months.
We will include these shared dashboards on CheckMates Toolbox as they are contributed to the community.
Yes.
