I cannot speak to what and how often the web server is logging   for a 
particular TCP connection, but Checkpoint does not create a log  entry for each 
packet once it has created the first log  entry.   This can be adjusted in the 
Policy Global Properties  Log and Alert Time settings.

Hi,   
  
I have a web server behind a firewall.  On the web server log,  it shows there 
are 10,000 entries [concurrent  sessions] within an hour from a particular 
source IP accessing this web  server. But on the CheckPoint firewall, it only 
shows there are 100 entries  within an hour from the same source to the web 
server. Why is this log  discrepancies? They log different things? Must be some 
basic concept I  am missing here...   
  
Thanks for your help.
