Log indexing is a feature that enables faster and more efficient log searches in SmartLog and SmartEvent. To enable log indexing on the Security Management Server (SMS), you need to edit the SMS object in SmartConsole and go to the "Logs" tab. There you can configure the log indexing settings, such as the index location, the index size, the index frequency, and the index retention123. References:

Dynamic log distribution is a feature that allows the Security Gateway to distribute logs between the active Log Servers, instead of sending a copy of every log to each Log Server. This feature was introduced in Check Point R81.10 version, and it requires both the Management and the Gateways to be at least on version R81.10 for this to be supported12. With dynamic log distribution, the Gateway can optimize the disk space usage and network bandwidth consumption of the Log Servers, and also improve the performance and reliability of the logging system3.
