Palo Alto Bandwidth Monitor

[pcheng]

Can anyone recommend a plug-in for monitoring Palo Alto PA3020 interface bandwidth usage? I setup standard SNMP but the port usage are not being capture / reported. I only see 0Mb/s utilization on all the interfaces.

Checked Nagios Exchange and found a couple of plug-ins but they seem to monitor only environmental.

If anyone have any suggestion on Plug-in and/or different method of monitoring bandwidth utilization, please advise.

Thanks,

This can be due to rounding issues and occurs if the unit of measurement on the check is too large. Use the 'Run Check Command" button to test the plugin and adjust the unit argument. Note that you'll need to remove the xml and rrd file for the check after changing the unit and allow new ones to be created/populated. The rrd and xml file are found under /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/<hostname>/<servicedescr>.[rrd|xml]

If the Palo Alto device conforms to the standards as other devices, the checks should of functioned for you.

Was it only this device that was failing to gather the bandwidth information?
Are other network devices working and displaying bandwidth information?

Does the community string have a special character in it?

Do you still have the Services defined in Nagios XI when you used the Network Switch / Router Wizard?

If so, Can you run the following commands as root and post the the /tmp/mrtg.txt file to the ticket?

Code: Select all

LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -debug=cfg,base,log &> /tmp/mrtg.txt
LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg &>> /tmp/mrtg.txt

Also, we would need to know the IP address of the device.

Thanks
