Checkpoint NG Rules Reports

Checkpoint NG Rules Reports

We are currently evaluating this product and are pretty happy with the information we are getting. However, the main reason we are looking at this tool is for the Firewall Rules reports. Including the Top 5 used and Top 5 unused reports. Problem is that we don't get any sort of report information regarding rules.

We have have an HA Active/Standby pair of Checkpoint Firewalls and a management server collecting logging information. I have changed all of our rules from Log to Account. I have exported the running log file to a testlog.txt file and imported it into the Firewall Analyzer. When I go to the rules reports I don't see any data. I do see that the Firewall Analyzer wants me to import a rules file listing the name and description of each rule. First, why? The rule #'s should be in the log file. Is there a way to disable the need for a name and description. We have over 500 rules and I don't want to create a file listing off names and descriptions for each rule. Second, if this is required, how can I do this within Checkpoint FW Manager? I suspect there isn't a way so if you can recommend a tool or add on that can export the rules within a policy that would be great.

Thanks
