SNMP OID's

darren_g — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 22:33:01 GMT

Folks.

Can someone point me to a more recent listing of OID's than the ones from 2011 which I've been able to download?

Or, even better, give me an indication of what the OID's are for the following on a PA2020 running 4.1?

Active Sessions

Concurrent Sessions

Session Utilisation percentage

Chassis Temperature

System Uptime

I'm trying to integrate some more detailed monitoring of my PA than the default MIB's offer, and while I've found the templates which are on here, they're not valid for the current software, and most of them don't work - I need to update the OID's so Cacti queries the right values.

Thanks

Thanks - those are actually already the OID's that Cacti is trying to use, so there's got to be something else wrong here - I just don't know what. 😞

Load up the RFC 1213 MIB-II file. Does a basic GetRequest to the OID .1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 (i.e. sysDescr.0) work correctly? Are you running SNMP v2c or v3? If it's v2c, do you have the community string set correctly on both the firewall and the NMS? If it's v3, do you have the relevant security settings (e.g. user, mask) set up correctly?

Jared.

I can SNMPwalk the device fine - but only on the standard MIB's.

Running an SNMPWALK, using V2c, I get the following outputs (relevant sections only - I get many more responses - but only from the SNMPv2-MIB, DISMAN-EVENT-MIB, IF-MIB, HOST-RESOURCES-MIB & SNMPv2-SMI)

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Palo Alto Networks PA-2000 series firewall

DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (243963535) 28 days, 5:40:35.35

HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrSystemUptime.0 = Timeticks: (243987538) 28 days, 5:44:35.38

(Same information, with numerical OID's instead of translated ones)

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 = STRING: Palo Alto Networks PA-2000 series firewall

.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 = Timeticks: (244008859) 28 days, 5:48:08.59

.1.3.6.1.2.1.25.1.1.0 = Timeticks: (244032854) 28 days, 5:52:08.54

I should say that I can graph *some* instances out of the PAN device successfully - the interfaces themselves, the dataplane utilisation and management plane utilisation - but I can't seem to get uptime or session information out of it. The OID's appear to be correct based on the table above, but there's something wrong with the Cacti template I imported (from the devcentral site) and I'm not good enough with Cacti templates to figure out what.

You may want to perform a test using a simple MIB browser. Load the PANW Enterprise 4.1 MIB files into it. Run a SNMP walk. See if any of the responses are from OIDs that start with .1.3.6.1.4.1.25461, which indicates Palo Alto Networks. The issue may indeed be with the Cacti NMS configuration if you're able to walk the MIB using a simple MIB browser but not with Cacti. I wish you good luck in sorting out this issue!

This is the source of my problem. I have, as far as I am able to tell, installed/loaded the Palo Alto enterprise MIB's into my server, and am *trying* to tell snmpwalk to use them - only I can't get it to do so - it'll only use the "standard" MIB's.

Of course, according to the table above, at least the SNMP uptime should be readable using te standard MIB's.

It's most frustrating!

I guess you use the proper syntax for snmpwalk and you have put the MIBs in correct path?

Sorry for the slow reply - I've been too busy elsewhere to go back to this.

I don't know if I do or not - wasn't aware of that little gem of a tutorial - but I am not, and will work through it and see how I go!

Thanks
