Configuring SNMP queries and traps
Go to System > Configuration > SNMP to configure SNMP to monitor FortiMail system events and thresholds, or a high availability (HA) cluster for failover messages.
You can also use SNMP to monitor some models which have monitored power supplies and RAID controllers. When a monitored power supply or a RAID controller is removed or added, the FortiMail unit will send configured notification for those events by log messages, alert email messages, and/or SNMP traps.
To monitor FortiMail system information and receive FortiMail traps, you must compile Fortinet proprietary MIBs as well as Fortinet-supported standard MIBs into your SNMP manager. RFC support includes support for most of
RFC 2665 (Ethernet-like MIB) and most of
RFC 1213 (MIB II). For more information, see
“FortiMail MIBs”. For information on HA-specific MIB and trap MIB fields, see
“Getting HA information using SNMP”.
The FortiMail SNMP implementation is read-only. SNMP v1, v2c, and v3 compliant SNMP managers have read-only access to FortiMail system information and can receive FortiMail traps.
The FortiMail SNMP v3 implementation includes support for queries, traps, authentication, and privacy. Before you can use its SNMP queries, you must enable SNMP access on the network interfaces that SNMP managers will use to access the FortiMail unit. For more information, see
“Editing network interfaces”.
