 The error message “SmartLog is not active or Failed to parse results from server” indicates that there is a problem with the SmartLog server process, which is responsible for indexing and querying the logs. One possible cause of this problem is a corrupted log file or a mismatched IP address in the logging configuration files. Another possible cause is a communication failure between the SmartLog server and the CPM process or the SmartConsole client. To resolve this issue, the first thing to try is to restart the SmartLog server process by running the command smartlog_server restart on the Security Management Server or the Log Server. This command will stop the SmartLog server, clean the buffer, and start it again. This may fix the corrupted log file or the communication issue. If the problem persists, other steps may be needed, such as checking the network connectivity, the firewall rules, the logging configuration files, the CPM process, or the SmartConsole client.

The correct answer is A. smartlogrestart and smartlogstart. These commands are used to restart the SmartLog service and start the SmartLog indexing process. They can be run on the Security Management Server or the Log Server to resolve issues with SmartLog not being active or failing to parse results from the server. The other commands are not valid or relevant for thispurpose. References: Check Point Troubleshooting Expert (CCTE) R81.10 Course Data Sheet1, Check Point Troubleshooting Expert (CCTE) R81.10 Course Outline2, Check Point Troubleshooting Expert (CCTE) R81.10 Lab Manual3, sk175223 -SmartLog is not active or failed to parse results from server

The ADLOG function receives the AD log event information from the Domain Controllers. The ADLOG function is part of the Identity Awareness feature that enablesthe Security Gateway to identify users and machines in the network and enforce Access Control policy rules based on their identities. The ADLOG function uses the AD Query (ADQ) method to connect to the Active Directory Domain Controllers using WMI and subscribe to receive Security Event logs that are generated when users perform login. The ADLOG function then extracts the user and machine information that maps to an IP address from the event logs and sends it to the PEP function, which enforces the policy based on the identity information.
