Did you watch the excellent TechTalk 'Security Gateway Performance Optimization with Timothy Hall'?

The presentation ended with: "As Check Point administrators, you should always quickly run the “Super Seven” commands whenever you access a firewall to check performance"

So I've created a simple script that executes all super seven performance assessment commands that were mentioned by Timothy Hall . I called the script s7pac.

I'm thankful that this script is being mentioned in the third edition of the book Max Power 2020: Check Point Firewall Performance Optimization.

@Danny created a SmartConsole extension of s7pac. See this thread.

To install the script on a Security Gateway, simply run the following command in Expert mode:

curl_cli -o /usr/bin/s7pac tools.checkpoint.engineer/s7pac && chmod +x /usr/bin/s7pac

Or download s7pac here, copy it to your Security Gateway and make it executable.
