Does anyone know of a good way to debug problems with the checkpoint lea client? I've been having trouble getting my configured.

Yes! you'll want to add a shell variable that calls OPSEC debugging when the lea_loggrabber client is called.
First, set the OPSEC debug level:

OPSEC_DEBUG_LEVEL=3; export OPSEC_DEBUG_LEVEL

Then run the splunk lea_loggrabber.sh script manually:

SPLUNK_HOME=/opt/splunk/ ./lea-loggrabber.sh 

The debug output is very verbose so you may want to send the output to a file for splunk support to review.

If you need to dive deeper into the problem, on the Checkpoint Manager you can also enable OPSEC debugging.

% fw debug fwm on OPSEC_DEBUG_LEVEL=9

The debug file is located at $FWDIR/log/fwm.elg

To stop the FWM debug, execute:

% fw debug fwm off OPSEC_DEBUG_LEVEL=1
