Which Check Point process provides logging services, such as forwarding logs from Gateway to Log Server, providing Log Export API (LEA) & Event Logging API (ELA) services.
The FWD process is responsible for forwarding logs from the Security Gateway to the Log Server, as well as providing Log Export API (LEA) and Event Logging API (ELA) services.
Sorry, B is correct: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk97638 fwd: On a Security Gateway - Sending the Security Logs to a Management Server / Log Server and On a Management Server - Handling connections for exporting FireWall logs using OPSEC Log Export API (LEA) products
On the SmartCenter side:
FWD listens on port 257, waiting for logs to be sent from various GWs that are connected to it.
On the GW side:
FWD opens a connection to the FWD on the log\SmartCenter server-side on port 257.
Note: In case FWD is down on either SmartCenter or the GW, logging will not work.
B is correct, The FWD (FireWall Daemon) process main responsibility is sending and receiving the logs from the different Check Point entities to the SmartCenter\log server
Correct
Primarily handles passing of logs from the Security Gateways to the Security Management Server, but on the Security Gateway it also acts as a parent process to many security server processes responsible for advanced inspection outside the kernel.
