SNMP manager for Palo Alto NGFW

JJoseph — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 15:58:44 GMT

Hello,

We are trying to use Cisco Prime as an SNMP manager for polling/snmp traps for our Palo FWs but according to Cisco, they only support Cisco MIBS. I was wondering if anyone could recommend an SNMP manager tool for Palos that we can use for polling and snmp traps using Palo MIBs where I can automatically collect the data over a period of time to build out some reports, etc.

Thanks - Jisha

Pretty much any monitoring solution would work. Zabbix for instance is a free option that will allow you to upload the required MIBs and start polling, but literally anything will work.

As for your Prime issue, last I checked you can actually create a custom MIB polling policy for non-Cisco devices. Should be an option under your monitoring policies to select a type of Custom MIB Polling unless I've gone absolutely crazy or this option was removed.
