For more information, see [sk178566](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk178566). The OpenTelemetry Agent package is installed automatically on all relevant Check Point devices when Automatic Update downloads are enabled (see [sk175504](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk175504), section 2-B). If Automatic Updates are disabled, you must first manually install the latest [AutoUpdater](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk165653) Take and then install the OpenTelemetry Agent package manually using the steps below. Manual Installation (Offline) {#Manual Installation} ---------------------------------------------------- ### Instructions: 1. Download the offline package to your computer. See the "Availability" section. 2. Copy the offline package from your computer to your Check Point device to some directory (for example, */var/log/*). 3. Connect to the command line on your Check Point device. 4. Log in to the Expert mode. 5. Go to the directory with the offline package. 6. Install the offline package: * On a Security Gateway / each Cluster Member / Management Server / Log Server: `autoupdatercli install .tar` * On a Scalable Platform Security Group (Maestro / Chassis): `g_all autoupdatercli install .tar` **Note** : The installation does not require **`cpstop; cpstart`** or a reboot. Once installed, no further action is required, the update will be applied immediately.

Enable the debug mode: `/opt/CPotelcol/sklnctl export --debug //.json` Example: `/opt/CPotelcol/sklnctl export --debug /var/log/otlp_export_debug.json` 2. Restart the OpenTelemetry Collector: `/opt/CPotelcol/CPotelcolCli.sh stop ; /opt/CPotelcol/CPotelcolCli.sh start` 3. Restart the OpenTelemetry Agent: `/opt/CPotlpAgent/CPotlpagentCli.sh stop ; /opt/CPotlpAgent/CPotlpagentCli.sh start` 4. Search for your metric name in the output file: `cat //.json | jq . | grep ""` Example: `cat /var/log/otlp_export_debug.json | jq . | grep "hardware.sensors.temperature"` 5. Disable the debug mode: `/opt/CPotelcol/sklnctl export --debug-stop` 6. Restart the OpenTelemetry Collector: `/opt/CPotelcol/CPotelcolCli.sh stop ; /opt/CPotelcol/CPotelcolCli.sh start` 7. Restart the OpenTelemetry Agent: `/opt/CPotlpAgent/CPotlpagentCli.sh stop ; /opt/CPotlpAgent/CPotlpagentCli.sh start` List of Resolved Issues and New Features per OpenTelemetry Agent Update {#List of Resolved Issues} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ID | Description | | **Take 156 -
