Subject: Re: [FW-1] Logging issue

What Check Point calls the "active log file" is not really a single
file,
but several of them that work together. If you check the logs folder,
you
will find groups of files that contain a date on their file names, those
with the same date are the "log file" closed during a log switch on the
date
indicated, but you will also find several other files that do not have
any
dates on the file names, those are the "active log file" and you should
never touch them or bad things will happen to your logging...

I'm thinking may be you moved one of those files and if that was the
case,
stopping services, moving the file back in place and starting services
again, should get the issue resolved.

Now, if you are just unable to figure out what did you remove, or if you
deleted something and so are now unable to put it back, do cpstop,
create a
backup directory somewhere else (/var for example) and copy the entire
contents of $FWDIR/log to that folder, then erase everything on the
original
"log" folder, so the folder is empty. Finaly do cpstart and as the
services
come back up a new "log file" and all corresponding parts of it will be
generated once again and you should have a working log again.
If something goes wrong or you still have problems, at least you have
everything backed up.

Hope this helps.
