System monitoring : SNMP traps & queries : MIB support
 
MIB support
The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports the following management information blocks (MIBs):
Table 8: Supported MIBs
MIB or RFC
Description
Fortinet Core MIB
This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for system information and to receive traps that are common to multiple Fortinet devices.
FortiRecorder MIB
This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for FortiRecorder-specific information and to receive FortiRecorder-specific traps.
RFC-1213 (MIB II)
The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports MIB II groups, except:
• There is no support for the EGP group from MIB II (RFC 1213, section 3.11 and 6.10).
• Protocol statistics returned for MIB II groups (IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, and so on.) do not accurately capture all FortiRecorder traffic activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the information reported by the FortiRecorder MIB.
RFC-2665 (Ethernet-like MIB)
The FortiRecorder SNMP agent supports Ethernet-like MIB information, except the dot3Tests and dot3Errors groups.
You can obtain these MIB files from the Fortinet Technical Support web site, https://support.fortinet.com/.
To communicate with your FortiRecorder appliance’s SNMP agent, you must first compile these MIBs into your SNMP manager. If the standard MIBs used by the SNMP agent are already compiled into your SNMP manager, you do not have to compile them again.
To view a trap or query’s name, object identifier (OID), and description, open its MIB file in a plain text editor.
All traps sent include the message, the FortiRecorder appliance’s serial number, and host name.
For instructions on how to configure traps and queries, see “SNMP traps & queries”.
