TOS Precheck

Overview

You can run this procedure whenever you want to check TOS configurations without affecting TOS performance.

This procedure identifies misconfigurations that might interfere with TOS. After the procedure finishes, you send the output to Tufin Support for assessment.

Precheck Procedure

  1. If you have downloaded the precheck previously, delete it.

  2. Go to the Download Center and select TOS Precheck. The version number is appended to the name.

  3. Select the method for downloading the installation package: Download to Computer or Copy link (valid for 10m). Using the link requires the server to have access to download from https://tosportaldownloads.tufin.com.

  4. If you downloaded the package, upload it from your local computer to the primary data node to the directory /opt. Upload the file as is; do not extract it first.

  5. If you copied the link, run the following command. If the link has expired, get a new link from the Download Center.

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ curl <LINK>
    curl <LINK>

    where <LINK> is the link you copied from the Download Center.

  6. Extract the contents of the compressed file:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ unzip <FILENAME> -d /opt
    unzip <FILENAME> -d /opt

    where <FILENAME> is the compressed file.

    If your system does not include an unzip command, use this command to install it:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ sudo app-get install unzip
    sudo app-get install unzip

    The file, tos_precheck, is extracted.

  7. Navigate to the /opt directory:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ cd /opt
    cd /opt
  8. Add permissions to run the file:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ chmod +x tos_precheck
    chmod +x tos_precheck
  9. Run the TOS precheck:

    [<ADMIN> ~]$ ./tos_precheck
    ./tos_precheck

    The TOS precheck creates an output file - /tmp/tos_check/tsc-[HOSTNAME]-[DATETIME].tgz

  10. Download the output file to your personal computer.

  11. On the Tufin file upload page, click Support.

  12. Complete the form.

    Note that the SR Number is a mandatory field. You can type 0 if you do not want to associate the upload file with a specific support ticket.

  13. Click Upload files and select the output file that was created.

  14. Tufin Support will analyze the output and contact you with their conclusions and any recommended actions.
