Check Point shell tools

Shell tools for various tasks on Check Point products.

unused_objects

• del_unused_gen.sh --- Generate lists of unused object UUIDs by type to be used for later deletion.
• del_unused_del.sh --- Delete objects from given lists.

Usage

del_unused_gen.sh

Creates numbered directories del_list-nnnnnn. Directories contain UUIDs of unused objects, sorted into files by object type. list.json contains all the unused objects with details. By default new directory is created for every 500 objects.

del_unused_del.sh del_list-000000

Shows commands which will be executed to perform the deletion. No changes are made.

del_unused_del.sh --del del_list-000000

Performs the deletions of the objects.

logs

• daily_storage.sh --- Show $FWDIR/log disk space use by traffic logs per day.

log_archive_upload

This script archives and uploads logs from a log server on Gaia to another machine using SFTP. It is designed to be run every day using cron. Logs from each day are stored to a tar gz archive and then uploaded. The archives are named DATE_HOSTNAME.tgz. DATE is the date of the logs in ISO format, HOSTNAME is the hostname of the log server machine the logs are archived and uploaded from.

• /var/log/log_arch --- working directory
  • tmp/ --- In this directory the archive file is created and after upload it is removed. After the script finishes without crash the directory should be empty.
  • log_arch.log --- log file of the tool
  • last_dates.txt --- last dates uploaded. The tool uploads dates after the last date uploaded and by default logs older than from yesterday.

log_archive_upload usage

Configure public-key based authentication for SSH so that admin can connect from the Gaia machine to the target server without entering a password. Do the rest of the configuration for admin too.

Copy the script log_archive_upload.sh to a directory by your choice. It could be a subdirectory in /opt. Make the script executable. Configure the script by creating log_archive_upload_conf.sh in the same directory. Set the parameters in the configuration file. Usually it will be just two parameters for SFTP uploads:

upload_dir=/directory/on_the_target/machine
upload_target=username@hostname

Configure the cron job in clish (Gaia allows configuring cron jobs for admin). Use time parameters of your choice.

add cron job log_arch command "/your_directory/log_archive_upload.sh recurrence daily time 2:25"

When executed the script checks log days suitable for upload. For each days it creates an archive, uploads it with suffix .incomplete. After the upload finishes successfully the suffix is removed and the day is marked as processed (to not upload it repeatedly).

cloud_uploader

This is a script which uploads available files to AWS S3 and deletes them afterwards. It is designed to cooperate with log_archive_upload running on Gaia. When executed it checks the given incoming directory for files with a given suffix (.incomplete files are ignored). All matching files are then uploaded to än AWS S3 bucket.

Similarly to the other script cloud_uploader_conf.sh is a configuration file.
