pfsense Monitoring

[altiva]

Hi,

I have netXMS test that has greatly interested me for its discovery of the network.
I have a lot of pfsense (freebsd os) to monitor, but I have not found an agent and via SNMP this does not seem to be well recognized.
Is it possible to import a freebsd MIB? I am interested in feedback for pfsense management.

Best regards

Hi,

I'm onto this as well. I made a very basic template, yet, but I'm still investigating the best way to do things.

I've seen for Zabbix there is even a way to find out that there is a new version or a new package version available (via Agent active check). With a NetXMS agent we could find out those things as well...

Cheers

Thank you very much!
I’m gonna try.

I also use Zabbix which for the moment seems more suitable for monitoring. NetXMS interests me a lot for the discovery and inventory part. To follow!

As I have only a few pfsense boxes, I made DCIs on each box for their WAN and LAN interfaces (via right click on the interface) but they are not part of the template. That said the template is only a starting point. There are tons of information buried in the SNMP that pfsense provides..

I'm trying to get a more affordable and better solution than PRTG. Tried checkmk, Zabbix and now NetXMS. All have their Pros and Cons, but NetXMS seems more complete for me. But it lacks templates and guides...

I love the inventory part as well. And that you can easily push client updates...
There are a lot of things that are great. But most of them are difficult to find out... e.g. VM monitoring

You can had auto discover

return ($node->sysDescription ~= "pfSense") ? true : false;

Thanks. I guess you can even skip the "? true : false" part, as the part in front of ? is already a boolean...
