I’d like to share with you that today I got aware of the projectSmartSPLAT.
Cagdas Ulucan, CCSE+ from Turkey, developed a nice GUI that uses a simple SSH connection to login into your SPLAT-based box and display, change and collect a lot of useful information.
The three shell windows show output of fw monitor, actual fw logging and the main commands, parameters for them can be set using the GUI.
When you click on a button (for example “debug vpn”), you can actually see what commands are issued to the shell, so here you have a learning effect.
The tool has a build-in ftp and syslog server, so produced debug files can the uploaded easily.
At the first moment you’re overwhelmed of all the tabs that address different (troubleshooting) topics, but I think the GUI will improve and Cagdas will find a way to enhance the presentation of his tool.
What is really cool is the cluster view, where you have a windows with two panes, each representing one cluster member. An easy way to send commands to both cluster members and compare the results!
Try his tool, it’s completely free and very very useful.
Send him his suggestion for improvement and make it even better.
