Monitoring your system : SNMP traps & queries : MIB support
 
MIB support
The FortiWeb SNMP agent supports a few management information blocks (MIBs).
Table 59: 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.
FortiWeb MIB
This Fortinet-proprietary MIB enables your SNMP manager to query for FortiWeb-specific information such as the utilization of each CPU, and to receive FortiWeb-specific traps, such as when an attack is detected by a signature.
RFC-1213 (MIB II)
The FortiWeb 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 FortiWeb traffic activity. More accurate information can be obtained from the information reported by the FortiWeb MIB.
RFC-2665 (Ethernet-like MIB)
The FortiWeb 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 FortiWeb 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 FortiWeb appliance’s serial number, and host name.
For instructions on how to configure traps and queries, see “SNMP traps & queries”.
