Policy-based monitoring on SolarWinds

Hello Everyone!

 

We are using SolarWinds Orion NPM and we are able to gather data from polls to firewalls which have route-based VPN. Is there any possibility for policy-based VPN? When I add an FGT firewall which runs policy-based, there's no VPN entries when listing on resources screen in order to monitor.

 

Any idea?

 

Thanks!

    I have used Solarwinds sparingly but it should have MIBs for your Fortinet equipment that will allow you to monitor the phase1 / 2 of the device. That is how we have configured it in the past. Some custom finagling may be required though.

      "List resources" is only going to check for a preset list of generic MIBs (Volumes, Interfaces, Routing Table, etc)

       

      Since a policy-based VPN does not have an interface, you will need to create a universal device poller to poll the MIB for the phase 2 SAs of the tunnel.

       

      It is a lot more work than monitoring an interface for a route-based VPN tunnel.
