Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 221

Which is the correct order of a log flow processed by SmartEvent components?

Answer options

• A. Firewall > Correlation Unit > Log Server > SmartEvent Server Database > SmartEvent Client
• B. Firewall > SmartEvent Server Database > Correlation Unit > Log Server > SmartEvent Client
• C. Firewall > Log Server > SmartEvent Server Database > Correlation Unit > SmartEvent Client
• D. Firewall > Log Server > Correlation Unit > SmartEvent Server Database > SmartEvent Client

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as it accurately reflects the sequence where logs flow from the Firewall to the Log Server, then to the Correlation Unit, followed by the SmartEvent Server Database, and finally to the SmartEvent Client. Options A, B, and C misplace the order of these components, which can result in incorrect log processing and analysis.
