Question

We have a PoC with Fortiproxy, I think we'll buy it.
I'd like to check the proxysessions with our Nagios.
But there is a very big differenct between the value I see in the GUI and the value that I get with SNMP.
In the morning, when just a few people are online, in the GUI I see approx. 60 sessions.
With SNMP (fgExplicitProxySessions.1 = 1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.10.112.2.1.2.1)  I get a value around 160 sessions...
Any suggestions?

Please refer to this tech tip to see the difference between the "Sessions" widget and the "Proxy Sessions" widget.

https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiProxy/Technical-Tip-Difference-between-Proxy-Sessions-and-Sessions/ta-p/224197

So the one you see on the GUI is only for UTM sessions.

 

On the other hand the three below OIDs give number of sessions:

fgExplicitProxySessions  1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.10.112.2.1.2  "Number of current sessions in this virtual domain" 
fgIpSessNumber           1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.11.2.2.1.1    "Current number of sessions on the virtual domain" 
fgVdEntSesCount          1.3.6.1.4.1.12356.101.3.2.1.1.7     "Number of active sessions on the virtual domain."

(add .1 to OID to specify the root VDOM)

I don't have FortiProxy to test it so can you try the 3 OIDs to see which OID corresponds to which widget?
