![]() There are two tools worth using to explore the available Fortinet’s SNMP data, they are snmpwalk and snmpget. See the Fortinet web site on how to setup the Fortigate for SNMP, its simple and should take a few minutes. ![]() Once the Fortinet is setup to accept SNMP from your host (in my case just a CENTOS Linux server), you can use a number of simple tools to retrieve the values you need. Recently (2013) I needed to enhance a monitoring system by including data transfer stats from our 12 firewalls running v3 software, without using any purchased software I decided to gather all the data using SNMP and then graph it in different ways. NOTE: MIB numbering changes depending on version! This document refers to an older v3 MIB, if you are on v5 or later then the names and numbering has changed … sorry, blame Fortinet □
