Identify the OID for a System Statistic or Trap
To use an SNMP manager for monitoring Palo
Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, or WF-500 appliances, you must
know the OIDs of the system statistics and traps you want to monitor.
- Review the Supported MIBs to determine which one contains the type of statistic you want. For example, the PAN-COMMON-MIB.my contains hardware version information. The panCommonEventEventsV2 MIB contains all the traps that Palo Alto Networks firewalls, Panorama, and WF-500 appliances support.Open the MIB in a text editor and perform a keyword search. For example, using Hardware version as a search string in PAN-COMMON-MIB identifies the panSysHwVersion object:
panSysHwVersion OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX DisplayString (SIZE(0..128)) MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "Hardware version of the unit." ::= {panSys 2}In a MIB browser, search the MIB tree for the identified object name to display its OID. For example, the panSysHwVersion object has an OID of 1.3.6.1.4.1.25461.2.1.2.1.2.![]()
