The device template creates available and compatible sensors based on the data available. You can find the detailed instructions for implementing this device template here.

Thanks to our wonderful developers and tech support team, we have a growing collection of device templates with all the settings needed for you to monitor your Palo Alto. We understand, and we’ve done the heavy lifting to make monitoring your Palo Alto painless. We do not make any attempts to modify your devices’ configuration. SNMP support allows you as the PRTG administrator to capture metrics about the following aspects of your device.įor details on how to configure SNMPv2 on the Palo Alto Networks firewall, please see this article. Along with these monitoring components, the ability to capture Netflow V9 packets for an aggregate view of bandwidth consumption by device, connection and protocol is also included. Palo Alto also supports syslog messages and SNMP trap forwarding to an SNMP management station or syslog receiver. Palo Alto devices are Linux based and support SNMP v2c and v3 ( find out more about SNMP monitoring with PRTG here).

Its usefulness in network administration comes from the fact that it allows information to be collected about network-connected devices in a standardized way across a large variety of hardware and software types. SNMP is a protocol for management information transfer in networks, for use in LANs especially, depending on the chosen version. I SNMP stands for Simple Network Monitoring Protocol.
