Some VPN-1/Firewall-1 tracking options generate log entries and trigger executables. These
executables take the form of:

A.
User-defined executables in $FWDIR/local.

B.
SNMP traps, or other functions defined by security engineers, EXCEPT socket-based
applications.

C.
SNMP traps, alter emails, or other functions defined by security engineers.

D.
User-defined JAVA scripts in $FWDIR/bin

E.
SMS traps, alert emails, or other functions defined by security engineers.

Explanation:

: Tracking is the process of creating definitions in which the parameters of an alert or log are
established. Tracking occurs when an option is defined in the track column of a rule in the rule

base, as well as when an object is defined. Certain tracking options will just generate a log entry,
viewable in the log viewer, while other tracking options will generate a log entry and trigger an
executable. These executables can take the form of an SNMP trap, sending an alert e-mail, or any
other function that a security engineer can define. See Page 3.2 of CCSE NG Official Courseware.
