CPView Utility and High Load Traffic

If you have the situation and a fw has a high load on traffic sometimes you need tools to figure it out what causes the resulting high cpu load etc.

A great tool to use is Check Point's CPView:

Start the cpview history daemon

# cpview history on

Check the status of the history daemon

# cpview history stat

history daemon is activated

Check the history data (use <+> or <-> to scroll the time)

# cpview -t

Start cpview -t for the history mode.

Then press 't' to toggle the date mode and insert the date you want to start at.
