Description This article describes how to retrieve traffic volume for specific policies for auditing or troubleshooting on FortiGate when FortiAnalyzer or FortiManager is not available. It provides a step-by-step guide on SNMP to obtain the required information.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution
  1. Set up SNMP under System -> FortiGate -> SNMP and enable SNMP, and configure as per Guide.
  2. Use the following SNMP OID to retrieve the traffic volume: 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.5.1.2.1.1.3
  3. Use an SNMP walk tool to retrieve the traffic volume.

For example:


"SnmpWalk.exe -r:192.14.47.8 -v:3 -sn:snmptest -os:1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.5 -op:1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.6"
