Web Visualization tool - NOT supported on R80

[eduardoxmunoz]

Hi everyone,

As per sk64501 Web visualization Tool is no longer supported on R80.

I guess the workaround is to make use of the new R80 API?? Does anyone know if there is any similar tool for R80?

Thanks!

A - That would likely be your best option.

Does anyone know if there is any similar tool for R80?

A -- Not yet from Checkpoint. There may be 3rd party tools out there, but I am not personally aware of any that would accomplish the same.

Hi Everyone,
Have a look at https://community.checkpoint.com/docs/DOC-1974.
It's a tool that uses the R80 APIs to export a policy package as HTML pages.
If you have feedback or suggestions for tools that utilize the management APIs, please post them at https://community.checkpoint.com/ under the "Developer Network" section.

Enjoy!

Thanks Uri,

Great workaround...

Object dumping needs a bit of clean-up, but it's good...

Fantastic work, thanks a lot for sharing!

One more note.

This tool, unfortunately, does not work in my R80.10 EA environment. Lots of Java exception messages.

Hate so say, but this script is not working for me.

I also have issues with Check Point own package, but at least it can get some of the work done, partially.

Sorry for the question, but what's this tool used for? Is this for FWs not using mgmt. server?

Its used to show policy without requiring access to SMS/P1. Basically offline access for say auditing without giving someone access to your management server (maybe they don't have access to your network / SMS/P1)

Just to keep you posted,

provided a bunch of info to CP developers. The tool, although working, does not do much as of now, unfortunately...

FYI - In the past two months Check Point has made several improvements in the "show package" tool.
Please give it a try and continue to let us know how we can improve it.

Sorry, did not update in time. With the latest version it seems working even on R80.10 EA

I just used this with a new R80.10 deployment and it worked like a champ.

It may be helpful to make the documentation less MDS centric as it worked fine for me on a regular installation.
