The statistics that a Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) manager collects from Palo Alto Networks firewalls
can help you gauge the health of your network (systems and connections),
identify resource limitations, and monitor traffic or processing
loads. The statistics include information such as interface states
(up or down), active user sessions, concurrent sessions, session
utilization, temperature, and system uptime.
You can’t
configure an SNMP manager to control Palo Alto Networks firewalls
(using SET messages), only to collect statistics from them (using GET
messages). For details on how SNMP is implemented for Palo Alto
Networks firewalls, see
SNMP
Support.
