Description

This article describes the steps to use SNMP agent monitoring to poll for FortiADC Virtual Server traffic throughput.

Scope

FortiADC.

Solution

Pre-requisite.

  1. FortiADC SNMP agent is enabled and allowed access in the Network Interface port.

  2. SNMPv1/v2 or SNMPv3 settings created in FortiADC.

 

FortiADC SNMP OID object.

  1. The FortiADC SNMP OID objects to poll for Server Load Balance Virtual Server are as follows. This information can be obtained from the MIB file, which was downloaded from the FortiADC admin GUI.

 

Virtual Server Index Number:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.1.


Virtual Server Name:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.2.


Virtual Server Status:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.3.


Virtual Server Health:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.4.


New Connections/sec:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.5.


Concurrent Connections:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.6.


Throughput:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.7.


VDOM:

.1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.8.

 

  1. Using the snmpwalk command to test the OID object query.

SNMPv3 with auth and privacy command:

Virtual Server Name (index 1).


snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u USER -a MD5 -A "AUTH" -x DES -X "PRIV" 10.0.0.101 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.2.1


 

Virtual Server Name (index 19).


snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u USER -a MD5 -A "AUTH" -x DES -X "PRIV" 10.0.0.101 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.2.19


 
Virtual Server Throughput (index 1).


snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u USER -a MD5 -A "AUTH" -x DES -X "PRIV" 10.0.0.101 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.7.1


 

Virtual Server Throughput (index 7).


snmpwalk -v3 -l authPriv -u USER -a MD5 -A "AUTH" -x DES -X "PRIV" 10.0.0.101 .1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.112.8.2.2.1.7.7

 

 

  1. By matching and combining the OID index of Virtual Server and Throughput, the SNMP manager is able to poll the Virtual Server throughput and record the statistics.

Example of polling statistics using Zabbix SNMP Agent.
