Solution

Time values in the log file reflect Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), and are written when an event occurs on the firewall module. Time values displayed by a Check Point application (e.g., SmartView Tracker, fwm logexport command) are calculated and adjusted to local time (time zone + Daylight Savings) by the application. Therefore, the log file will show varying time values for firewall modules located in different time zones.

Example (log event):
Firewall module located in Israel
Management/Log Server located in U.S. (Pacific)

A firewall module event occurs in Israel at GMT+2 (15:00 PM) and is logged. It will be display as 6:00 AM (PDT) by the application on the Management/Log Server side.


so checkpoint says - regardsless of which timezone is set on SPLAT smart view tracker show the time set on smart center server.

on my side tracker ond monitor are running on the same machine - tracker shows the wrong time, monitor show the correct one...

strange.
