To obtain SNMP data for the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway through Multi Router Traffic
Grapher (in UNIX)
1 Configure the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway to respond to SNMP queries as discussed in "To enable
logging of SNMP messages" on page 139.
2 Create Multi Router Traffic Grapher configuration files in /etc/mrtg.
Each configuration file specifies the object identifiers that the grapher daemon is to monitor, specifies the target
from which to obtain SNMP data, and defines the grapher output.
3 Modify /etc/crontab to perform an SNMP query every five minutes, resulting in graphed data. The
various .cfg files listed generate a separate output.
4 View the output in a Web browser.
The grapher stores HTML output in the Workdir specified in the configuration file. The output filename that
corresponds to the configuration file in Step 2 is vpn.myorg.com.tcpcurrestab.html.
