SecureXL has been moved to User Space on specific Jumbo HotFix versions

If you are using the latest Check Point Software hardware models such as :

✅19000
✅29000
✅9000
✅MLS/QLS LightSpeed

… and you notice the system load is much higher than expected upon a fresh install or during known quieter periods with little network throughput.

👉 DO NOT PANIC – the system is working by design !

SecureXL has been moved to User Space on specific Jumbo HotFix versions, which has the impact of making the more traditional long serving Linux tools unable to accurately determine true system resource usage.

However, all is not lost, Check Point provide the following tooling that provides accurate monitoring data for system administrators to maintain a healthy system workload and operational efficiency.

✅CPview (sk101878) – CPU > Overview > Host
✅Skyline (sk178566) – “System > CPU”
✅SNMP OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2620.1.6.7.5
