SecureTrack tools: adding Check Point HA MGMT server

SecureTrack has a not-so-well-known set of tools for advanced operations.

For example, if one has Check Point Management HA setup, it may not be so clear how to monitore it correctly. Adding HA pair of CMAs/SmartCenters is not covered in the User Guide. As most of serious customers actually have redundant management systems, it might be good to know how to do this.

There is an article about adding secondary Check Point management to SecureTrack in Tufin Knowledge Center, but one has to be a registered user to access it.

In case you do not have an access to the article, here is a short description of the process.

First, log into your SecureTrack WebUI with an admin account. Now change the URL in the browser to https://<Your SecureTrack IP>/tools

You will see something like that:




















Click on the 5th link to add your HA MGMT server. You will get the following menu





Mind your primary server should already be monitored. Add the details of the HA pair and press "Submit".

You now have both primary and secondary CMAs/SmartCenters monitored.

    1. I understand it is a complex topic. But as Tufin instructor I also know it takes a full day in the class to start doing something. I sincerely do not see how same knowledge can be transferred through a blog post.

      Sorry, but if documentation is not enough for you, take a class.

  3. Hi Valeri,
    I try to make my own script for manipulating SC tickets. I searched the APIs and I understand them, but I do not find a good an good example how to integrate my script between to steps of a workflow. Also I do not find any documentation which data is coming to my script when I call my script after a specific step. Do you have any information about that?

    Wishes
