Hi Satyam, We don't have VSX but we use standard SNMP to monitor the "bytes" data on FW interfaces. I suppose that you can use this concept as well.
For this you can use any SNMP enabled monitoring tool. Simply allow SNMP-read in your security policy to your VSX and enable it on the device itself. Next you configure your SNMP enabled tool like (open source) Cacti or HP Openview and the data will roll in in a nice (loved-by-mamagement-like-) graphic. The reset however I don't now why this happens. Check perhaps who has accessed the gateway(s) and perhaps performed an reset.

We're trying to determine the # of Bytes of traffic received and sent on a VSX interface but since Since SmartView Monitor is not supported on the VSX platform as yet, we've resorted to running ifconfig -a at command line to see the total TX and RX bytes sent and received on the physical interface. Problem is that the total TX and RX bytes do not correspond with our expected volume of traffic. Furthermore, we've seen instances where the TX and RX counters have been reset. Is there any reliable way to obtain the amount of data passing on a VSX interface over a period of time? Furthermore can someone explain why the counters reset themselves periodically? ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================= ================================================= To set vacation, Out-Of-Office, or away messages, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the BODY of the email add: set fw-1-mailinglist nomail ================================================= To unsubscribe from this mailing list, please see the instructions at http://www.checkpoint.com/services/mailing.html ================================================= If you have any questions on how to change your subscription options, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] =================================================
