SNMP traps for power supply monitoring on PA-5260 MIB

tamilvanan — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 15:15:02 GMT

Hi Team,

We have an PA-5260 deployed in our environment.

Need to monitor the firewall using SNMP manager for power failure or when the power supply removed.

Firewall is running on PAN-OS 10.0 and we had downloaded the MIB file from the below link and loaded the MIB file for PANTraps

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/snmp-mib-files

But we are unable to find the power related OID on the PAN-TRAPS MIB file as given below:

Will we be able to monitor the Power supply status of the firewall using SNMP or this feature is not available yet .

Thanks in advance

Hi @tamilvanan , the ENTITY-STATE-MIB provides data for line cards, fan trays, and power supplies. However, it is currently only used for the PA-7000 and PA-5450 firewalls.

Please reach out to your local SE for assistance in submitting a feature request if this is something you require. There may be more people requiring the same thing.

Thanks.

Hi @JayGolf . Thanks for the response.

Is the below provided MIB in PANTRAPS as per documentation only applicable to PA 7000 and PA-5450

https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000ClbfCAC

Example OID's	attribute
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.911	Power Supply inserted
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.912	Power Supply removed
.1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.3.2.0.913	Power Supply failure

Also the ENTITY-STATE-MIB is used for monitoring the power supply status.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

For state of power source, ENTITY-STATE-MIB can be used.

ex. “snmpwalk -On -v2c -c public <ip> .1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.ID*”

This oid shows state of power supply module and its alarm state
“.1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.3(EntityOperState).ID*” shows power state. 3(Active) is ,2(Idle = power is not coming)

“.1.3.6.1.2.1.131.1.1.1.4.ID*” shows alarm state as “major” when one of power supply does not get power.

Be mindful that PS Object ID(=ID* above) are different in models PA3260 uses 4 and 5 , PA5220 have 9 and 10 for PS1 and PS2 /PA7050 uses 39-42/PA7080 uses 34-41 , etc..

Best Regards,
