What is a CKP file?

CKP files mostly belong to SmartDashboard.

CKP files serve different functions in specific systems. Use the details below to understand what they do:

Check Point Firewall Policy: These files store firewall rules and settings for Check Point Security Gateway. They are managed with official tools such as SmartDashboard. More details can be found at Check Point.
Elasticsearch Checkpoint: In Elasticsearch environments, CKP files record system progress and state. The server handles these files automatically. Visit Elastic for further information.
SC-PRJ Checkpoint: In some project-based systems, these files are used to mark progress. They may need specialized software to view.

FilExt.com tip: To open a CKP file, avoid using a basic text editor since the file structure is proprietary. Instead, use the appropriate vendor software and always backup your file before making any changes.

How to open CKP files

You need a suitable software like SmartDashboard to open a CKP file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your CKP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CKP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
