How to monitor and alert on sessions

[Ash_uow]

HI,

I was wondering if anyone has done session monitoring on the network and management interfaces and then alerted as of when a threshold was breached?

I would like to do this for TCP and udp sessions

If you have what network monitoring solution did you use?

You can get this information using SNMP. OID .1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.4 will show the number of active TCP sessions while .1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.3.4 shows the number of active UDP sessions. Below are the links for the PAN MIBs:

PAN-OS version 5.0: Enterprise SNMP MIB 5.0

PAN-OS version 4.0: Enterprise SNMP MIB 4.0

There are a lot of other values in the MIB you can monitor as well.
