Provider-1/SiteManager-1 - Check Point

Log ManagersMDG management activities can be performed using any of the MDS Managers. MDSManager synchronization does not mirror CMA-specific data. For example, internaldomains and customer level policy rules are known only at the CMA level, so they arenot synced by MDS Managers. To enable CMA failover, you must set up CMA HighAvailability. CMA High Availability synchronization is separate from MDSsynchronization.For more information, see Chapter 10, “High Availability” and Chapter 5, “GlobalPolicy Management.”FIGURE 1-12 MDS Synchronization in an Enterprise networkLog ManagersMulti-Domain Log ModuleThe Multi-Domain Log Module (MLM) is an optional server that is dedicated to logcollection, separating critical management activities from logging traffic. It therebyenhances performance and provides the infrastructure for further data-mining activitiesand improves performance for large deployments by offloading log processing activitiesfrom the MDS. It is recommended for systems with many CMAs or a heavy loggingload.Redundant log infrastructures can be created by designating an MLM as a primary logserver and designating the MDS as a backup. In the event that the MLM cannot bereached, logs are redirected to the MDS. It is possible to have multiple MLMs in theChapter 1 Introduction 23
