Vendor SNMP MIBs Not Being Used

Currently using Nagios XI 2014R2.3. I have uploaded the MIBS for our PaloAlto firwalls via the Nagios XI admin interface (see here for MIBS: https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-6587). I then go to the SNMP Walk wizard and the vendor mibs are not referenced in the scan as far as I can tell.

Is there a straight forward way to do this without a lot of tinkering?

Run the SNMP Walk Monitoring Wizard. In Step 2 of the wizard increase the timeout in case scanning takes longer than the "default" 15 seconds, change the "Max Results" to 1000 and set force scan = yes. I suspect you had a lot more results than 100, that's why you were not seeing the expected output.

Actually I have increased the timeout and number of values to return. I get nothing returned that is using the MIBs I uploaded.

And as suggested in another forum post I've also edited the command line variable in "nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/snmpwalk/snmpwalk.inc.php" to pass the "-m +all" options.

Snippet was...

Code: Select all

$cmdline="/usr/bin/snmpwalk -v ".escapeshellcmd....
Snippet is now...

Can you give us a description of what you are trying to monitor on the PaloAlto firewall?
Can you go to "Admin" > "Manage MIBS" and show us a screen shot of the MIBS that are uploaded?
Can you go to "Admin" > "Manage Config Wizards" and post back the version of the SNMP Walk Wizard?
