26.2 adds Check Point EoL data

Keeping track of hardware lifecycle isn't just good practice anymore - in many cases, it's required. Regulations like Europe's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the UK's Telecommunications Security Act (TSA) now require organisations to document legacy infrastructure.

Forward Networks already provides End of Life (EoL) data for Cisco and F5 devices to help customers prepare for these audits. With our latest update, Check Point is now supported too. That means one less vendor to track manually.

Using a simple NQE query, like the one I made below, you can quickly generate reports across your Cisco, F5, and Check Point environments for their EoL state. Add it as a verification check to get alerts when devices go EoL, or create a custom scorecard to monitor the current EoL status of your estate.
 

foreach device in network.devices
foreach component in device.platform.components
let componentViolation = if isPresent(component.support) &&
                            isPresent(component.support.lastSupportDate) &&
                            component.support.lastSupportDate <
                            date(device.snapshotInfo.collectionTime)
                         then true
                         else false
let eoldate = if componentViolation == true 
then toString(component.support.lastSupportDate)
else "Unknown"
select {
  Device: device.name,
  Component: component.name,
  Type: component.partType,
  Version: device.platform.osVersion,
  "End of hardware support": eoldate,
  violation: componentViolation
}
