Using Snmp To Monitor The Fortigate Unit - Fortinet FortiGate 1U Quick Start Manual

Using SNMP to monitor the FortiGate unit

The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) enables you to monitor
hardware on your network. You configure the hardware, such as the FortiGate
SNMP agent, to report system information and send traps (alarms or event
messages) to SNMP managers.
In this example, you configure the FortiGate SNMP agent and an example SNMP
manager so that the SNMP manager can get status information from the FortiGate
unit and so that the FortiGate unit can send traps to the SNMP manager.
