The fwd process on the Security Gateway sends logs to the fwd process on the Management Server via the cpm process. The cpm process is the main management process that handles database operations, policy installation, and communication with GUI clients via TCP port 190093. The other options are either incorrect or irrelevant to the log flow.

To help SmartEvent determine whether events originated internally or externally, you must define the traffic direction using the Initial Settings under General Settings in the Policy Tab. There are four options available to calculate the traffic direction: Incoming, Outgoing, Internal, and Other. Incoming means the source is external and the destination is internal. Outgoing means the source is internal and the destination is external. Internal means both the source and the destination are internal. Other means both the source and the destination are external. References: SmartEvent R81 Administration Guide

 You can communicate with the API server using three command sources: SmartConsole GUI Console, mgmt_cli Tool, and Gaia CLI. Web Services are not a command source, but a way to access the API server using HTTP requests. References: Check Point Management APIs

The SmartEvent component that creates events is the Correlation Unit, which is responsible for correlating and analyzing security events to identify patterns and potential threats.

Option A, "Consolidation Policy," does not create events but is used to configure policies for event consolidation.

Option C, "SmartEvent Policy," is not responsible for creating events but is used to configure policies related to SmartEvent.

Option D, "SmartEvent GUI," is the graphical user interface for managing SmartEvent but does not create events itself.

The CPM process is the core process of the Security Management Server that handles all management operations. It listens to TCP-port 19009 by default. References: CPM process

 Detecting and blocking malware by correlating multiple detection engines before users are affected is not a feature associated with the Check Point URL Filtering and Application Control Blade. This feature is part of the Check Point SandBlast Network solution, which uses Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction technologies to prevent zero-day attacks. The other features are part of the URL Filtering and Application Control Blade, which allows you to control access to web applications and sites based on various criteria. References: URL Filtering and Application Control Administration Guide

CoreXL is supported when one of the following features is enabled: IPS. CoreXL does not support Check Point Suite with these features: Route-based VPN, IPv6, Overlapping NAT, QoS, Content Awareness, Application Control, URL Filtering, Identity Awareness, HTTPS Inspection, DLP, Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, Threat Emulation. References: CoreXL

 The command fw ctl pstat can be used to verify the number of active concurrent connections on a gateway. This command displays various statistics about the firewall kernel, such as memory usage, CPU utilization, packet rates, and connection table information. The output of this command includes a line that shows the current number of connections and the peak number of connections since the last reboot. For example:

This means that there are currently 1234 active connections out of a maximum of 8192 connections, which is 15% of the connection table capacity. The peak number of connections since the last reboot was 2345. 

The fw ctl affinity -l -a -r -v command is the most accurate CLI command to get info about assignment (FW, SND) of all CPUs in your SGW. This command displays the affinity settings of all interfaces and processes in a verbose mode, including the Firewall (FW) and Secure Network Distributor (SND) instances. References: CoreXL Administration Guide

The Management API supports three methods of communication: mgmt_cli command, SmartConsole GUI dialog box, and Gaia CLI. Sending API commands over an http connection using web-services is not a supported method. References: Check Point Management APIs

The CPD daemon is a Firewall Kernel Process that does not pull application monitoring status. The CPD daemon is responsible for Secure Internal Communication (SIC), restarting daemons if they fail, transferring messages between Firewall processes, and managing policy installation. References: CPD process

PDP is not a valid CPVIEW view. CPVIEW is a command-line tool that shows the status of different system parameters, such as CPU, memory, disk, network, and firewall. The valid views are IDA, RAD, VPN, FW, QoS, and others. PDP is a process that handles identity awareness and authentication.

The three components for Check Point Capsule are Capsule Workspace, Capsule Docs, and Capsule Cloud. Capsule Workspace is a secure container app that allows users to access corporate data and applications from their mobile devices. Capsule Docs is a solution that protects documents with encryption and granular access control. Capsule Cloud is a cloud-based security service that enforces security policies on devices that are outside the corporate network. References: Check Point Capsule

 Sub Policies are a new R81 Gateway feature that had not been available in R77.X and older. Sub Policies are sets of rules that can be created and attached to specific rules. If the rule is matched, inspection will continue in the sub policy attached to it rather than in the next rule. This allows for more granular and modular control over the policy. The other features were already available in previous versions .
