cpmiquerybin is a useful tool found on Check Point Provider-1 servers. Ever wish you had it on a SmartCenter? Well, you can. Copy the cpmiquerybin from a Provider-1 (OF THE SAME Check Point VERSION) to your SmartCenter.
set environment variables
add the following lines to $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh, replace the 192.168.1.10 with whatever your SmartCenter IP address is.
MSP_SOMEIP_ADDR="192.168.1.10"; export MSP_SOMEIP_ADDR MDSDIR="/opt/CPshrd-R75.40"; export MDSDIR
source it to make them take effect...
[Expert@ckkpmgr]# source $CPDIR/tmp/.CPprofile.sh
successful test run
[Expert@ckkpmgr]# cpmiquerybin attr "" network_objects "name='LocalMachine'" -a __name__ get_cust_name: couldn't find /customers/ within fwdir LocalMachine
The error concerning the customers dir is annoying. I tried to make some dummy dirs to fake it out...
mkdir /opt/CPsuite-R75.40/fw1/customers mkdir /opt/CPsuite-R75.40/fw1/customers/dummy mkdir /opt/CPshrd-R75.40/customers mkdir /opt/CPshrd-R75.40/customers/dummy
but it didn't work... so, best to use a function.
use a function to filter out get_cust_name error
add a global function to /etc/profile
function cpquery() { /usr/local/bin/cpmiquerybin "$@" 2>&1 | grep -v "get_cust_name: couldn't find";}
The function above redirects stderr to stdout and filters out the error message string. Use the function cpquery at the shell command line in place of cpmiquerybin. You aren't supposed to use aliases in scripts, maybe you can use the global function? or you can define the function in all your scripts.
another test run...
[Expert@ckkpmgr]# cpquery attr "" network_objects "name='LocalMachine'" -a __name__ LocalMachine
no more error!
