Palo Alto Networks endpoints support standard and enterprise management information bases (MIBs) that enable you to monitor the endpoint’s physical state, utilization statistics, traps, and other useful information. Most MIBs use object groups to describe characteristics of the endpoint using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Framework. You must load these MIBs into your SNMP manager to monitor the objects (endpoint statistics and traps) that are defined in the MIBs (for details, see Use an SNMP Manager to ExploreMIBsand Objects).

The PAN-COMMON-MIB—which is included with the enterprise MIBs—uses the panGlobalProtect object group. The following table describes the objects that make up the panGlobalProtect object group.

Use these SNMP objects to monitor utilization of GlobalProtect gateways and make changes as needed. For example, if the number of active tunnels reaches 80% or is higher than the maximum number of tunnels allowed, you should consider adding additional gateways.
