Getting information about firewalls
From the Monitoring > Firewalls menu, you can see varied information about each firewall such as its health status, IP address, model, deployment number, maintenance end date, license options subscribed, etc.
Some columns are hidden by default in this monitoring view. To show a column:
- Scroll over any column title with the mouse,
- Click on the black arrow that appears,
- Scroll over the Columns menu,
- Select the columns that you prefer.
From this menu, you can also edit the configuration, access the web administration interface, logs and activity reports of a firewall, import a certificate on a firewall, check its usage and remove a firewall from the list.
Five different icons indicate the health status of the firewalls in the first column of the list:
- : the firewall is running,
- : the firewall has a non critical issue,
- : the firewall has a critical issue,
- : the firewall is disconnected,
- : the firewall has never been connected to the SMC server.
Scroll the mouse over the icons to display a tooltip detailing the health status for each firewall. For more information on health indicators, refer to the section on Health indicators in the SNS User guide.

The "Local modification” and “Configuration validation” health indicators are provided by the SMC server and relate to deployment issues. For more information, refer to Detecting changes to the local configuration on firewalls and Validation of the deployment failed.
