    To add a definition for the device to IMC so it recognizes what it is and categorizes it properly:

    System --> Resource Management --> Device Definition
    From there you'll need to add:
    • vendor: Checkpoint
    • series: <whatever applies can be anything>
    • model: <the model>  
    Associate the model with the sysoid and assign it a category (i.e.: security)

    IMC doesn't natively support config backup from Checkpoint, but you can add custom adapters.  It uses tcl scripts and basically will ssh to the device and instruct it to send backup via tftp/sftp/etc to IMC (tftp by default, to use a different method that's setup in service --> Configuration Center --> Options --> File Transfer Mode).  I usually copy and hack one of the existing adapters which are in iMC/server/conf/adapters/icc on the IMC server.  The folder would need to match the vendor (Checkpoint).  Within the CheckPoint Folder adapter-index.xml instructs the device based on sysoid (wildcards are supported) what adapter to use.  The adapters would be in a subfolder inside the Checkpoint folder.  Use existing adapters for reference beyond that.
    More info in the Admin Guide "Extending and customizing functions to support third-party devices"
