Technical Tip: Setup FortiGate HA failover alert on SNMP managers (OID)
| Description | This article describes using 3rd party vendors to manage all the devices, by getting alerts when FortiGate HA status changes in the SNMP managers. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Scope |  FortiGate, All Firmware. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Solution | To achieve this, one needs to use an OID.
In the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), OID means an 'Object Identifier'. To define OID, it's an address used to uniquely identify managed devices and their statuses. So that when there is a failover, the FortiGate will send a HA cluster status change trap to the SNMP managers.
OIDs for HA in FortiGate are those that can be mentioned in the SNMP manager.
Once the required OID is mentioned and whenever the OID gets triggered user will receive an alert indicating changes happened as per the OID. |
