Managing Monitored Devices

You can add devices to be monitored and manage monitored devices in Monitoring > Manage Devices. You can also arrange the devices into groups.

device properties

Select a device from the device tree on the left. You can Edit the device configuration or Delete the device from SecureChange. Some other options are specific to Check Point management servers.

Multi-domain Deployments

You can migrate devices to different environments. This feature is available only if you have configured your system for multi-domains. After migrating a device to another domain, the device is automatically removed from reports, queries, audits and alerts that were configured in the source domain. After migration, administrators of the target domain have permissions for the device, but users do not.

Migrate (move) a Device to Another Domain

  1. Click on a device.
  2. Click Migrate (Domains).
  3. Select a domain.
  4. Click Migrate.

The device now appears in the device tree under the new domain.

Distributed Deployments

In a distributed deployment, devices can either be monitored by the Central Cluster or by a Remote Collector Cluster. The servers monitoring your devices can be viewed in the Status page.

The ST clusters section, lists the number of monitored devices for each SecureTrack cluster. The Monitored Devices section lists the individual monitored devices, and the name of the SecureTrack cluster that monitors them.

In a multi-domain environment, virtual system host devices can be migrated between monitoring servers only by a Super Administrator in the Global context.

Migrate (move) a Device to or from the Central Cluster

  1. Go to Monitoring > Manage Devices.

  2. Under Monitored devices select the monitored device.

  3. Click Migrate (ST servers).

  4. Select the target server, and click Migrate.

  5. If the device is configured to send syslogs to TOS, change the syslog configuration on the device to send syslogs to the IP address of the correct cluster, RC or Central that is managing the device.

Migrate (move) a Device from a Remote Collector to a Remote Collector

To change which server monitors a device, first migrate the device to the Central Cluster server (see above), and then migrate to the target Remote Collector server.
