UIM Monitoring Check Point Gaia OS

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

We are looking to monitor Check Point's Gaia operating system. It is a Check Point Linux distribution, based on FreeBSD. 

Environment

Release: 20.4
Component: robot

Resolution

Unfortunately, FreeBSD linux has never been supported with the UIM robot. It may be possible to get a current robot to work with this OS, but it has not been tested. The following may help/be required as the OS does not have a native root account:

The snmpcollector or rsp probes may be a better option to monitor this type of system.
