Monitor License expiration through SNMP

L4 Transporter

Hello

I manage several PaloAlto Firewall, different models and PanOS versions, through SNMP. They actually sent via "pangeneraltrap" an alarm about License Expiration one month before it, but I want to know if is it possible to monitor or check the "Date Issued" and "Date Expires" of every license installed on the Firewall through SNMP

Best regards

Hi Gonzalo,

In MIB files, I don't see any OID which can be used to poll  license info. Using XML API you can schedule a job to fetch the issued and expires dates.

Hi

I actually receive a pangeneraltrap. It give me the information of the license and the date of expiration one moth before, it works fine. Unfortunatly I have no experience with XML API and don't know if colud be intergrated in my SNMP monitor tool.

Thanks for your help

Hello COS,

XML API would be a perfect option for this scenario.

I have taken an example from my LAB firewall:

/api/?type=op&cmd=<request><license><info></info></license></request>

Output:

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
