Check Point HA statistics, status, and data information are accessible using the cphaprob command. This article presents what type of data might be gathered and how to access it.N/A
The cphaprob command can be used to check the status of the Check Point HA mechanism. Use of this command is valid only on the systems where HA mode is enabled (clusters).
The most common use of cphaprob is to check the status of the cluster members. On the Crossbeam X-Series Platform, Cluster Mode is always reported as: Sync only (OPSEC).
###
cfw1dc_1 (xbm1-dc): ~$ cphaprob state
Cluster Mode: Sync only (OPSEC)
Number Unique Address Firewall State (*)
1 (local) 10.210.1.101 Active
2 10.210.1.102 Active
3 10.210.1.103 Active
4 10.210.1.104 Active
5 10.210.1.201 Active
6 10.210.1.202 Active
7 10.210.1.203 Active
8 10.210.1.204 Active
(*) FW-1 monitors only the sync operation and the security policy
Use OPSEC's monitoring tool to get the cluster status
###
There are known situations where cphaprob state has reported the status of one more more members as Down, even when everything was working correctly. Please see solution#1073 for further details.
The cphaprob tool can be used to check the list of interfaces known to the Check Point HA mechanizm:
###

The interface marked as secured is a synchronization interface.
Statistics showing sync serialization can be checked using the following command:
cphaprob ldstat

Both of the above commands have optional switches:
-reset - resets counters and print's out standard information
-a - shows statistics per VS
