Checkpoint doen't logging

[mnutriaji]

Hi All,

I need help about Checkpoint Logging.
I am using Checkpoint R60 HFA05 Hotfix 605 for my security gateway. and R65 for my smartcenter.
What happen is: There are no logs from my firewall in my smartcenter. Seems that firewall doesnot send the log to smartcenter, not even try to. I sniffed all the firewall interface destination smartcenter, nothing. also port 257 (for logging), also nothing.
I choose to log locally, then still not logging. I think log daemon is not running or something.
I check SIC...fine
I check name resolution in Firewall to Smartcenter...it resolved
I check MASTERS file....the smartcenter is there
I tried to telnet port 257 from firewall to Smartcenter....it is open

Anybody have experience in this case?

Thanks a lot in advance

Regards

Here is one thing you can try:

Edit your firewall object and manually set the log server, under "Logs and Masters->Log Servers".

A problem you might also have is that one interface of the firewall can reach the log server, but maybe another one can't and maybe the logs are being generated with that IP.

Thank you for replying back

I sniffed around each interfaces for port 257, and there were no logging traffic happening in those interfaces.

But finally , surprisingly, now it generate logs again. What i've done, like MarioL said, i worked around in Checkpoint object-->Log and Masters Area.
Using Local Definition master rather than user Defined Master, compile it and put it back. No restart service or machine. That was friday. and monday i went back, it generated log finally.

Seriously, i dont know what happened there. Anybody know if there are any checkpoint logs that i can evaluate regarding to this matter? /var/log/messages maybe?

Thank you

Glad that worked, I would try to change back and see if it works or not.
