Explanation

cpstat is the correct answer because it is the official Check Point CLI command designed specifically to display real-time status and statistics for various Check Point products and applications (e.g., firewall, VPN, licensing, policy server), making it the standard tool for health and performance monitoring.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • A. CPview - CPview is a real tool, but it's an interactive, terminal-based performance monitor (similar to top); it shows resource utilization over time rather than product-specific status and statistics.
  • C. fwstat - This is not a standard Check Point command; it does not exist in the Check Point CLI toolkit.
  • D. CPstat - This is simply a capitalization trap; Check Point CLI commands are lowercase, so CPstat is invalid syntax and will not execute.

Memory tip: Think of cpstat as "CP product status" - the "cp" prefix is common across Check Point commands (cpconfig, cpstart, cpstop), and "stat" signals statistics/status, which maps directly to the command's purpose.
