Redirecting Log Files To Another Drive
FireWall-1 Versions 3.0b-4.0 support modifying (or adding) the following registry entry (It is of type String):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\FWLOGDI R

Specify the full path name to the log directory here.

In 4.1, create the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\4.1\FWL OGDIR

Note: this directory must exist. You will need to restart the FireWall-1 service for this to take effect.

In NG, create the following registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CheckPoint\FW1\5.0\FWL OGDIR

Note: this directory must exist prior to modifying the registry setting and you should not remove the old log directory. You will need to restart the FireWall-1 service for this to take effect.

On Unix machines, you can symbolically link the $FWDIR/log directory to another drive. For example:

fwstop mv $FWDIR/log $FWDIR/log.old ln -s /path/to/new/logdir $FWDIR/log fwstart
