QRadar: CheckPoint Log Manager is not auto generating Log Sources

Troubleshooting


Problem

Events that are routed through a CheckPoint Manager do not result in multiple Log Sources on QRadar.

Symptom

QRadar does not create log sources for each of the CheckPoint devices that are forwarded in the OPSEC LEA stream that is configured in CheckPoint Management Console.

Resolving The Problem

If you want CheckPoint devices routed through your CheckPoint Manager to result in multiple Log Sources that are automatically created on the QRadar side, uncheck the Use Server IP for Log Source checkbox on your CheckPoint device Log Source configuration..

To make this configuration change, follow these steps:

  1. Click Admin > Data Sources > Log Souces.
  2. Identify the relevant CheckPoint device, select it and click Edit.
  3. Uncheck the Use Server IP for Log Source box.
  4. Click Save
  5. On the Admin tab, click on Deploy Changes

Result: New log sources are AutoDiscovered as they are found in the OPSEC LEA stream.
