Fortigate Special Agent

Checkmk Exchange

Hello Community,

We are currently developing a special agent for FortiGate firewalls (a complete replacement of SNMP checks), switches and access points.
Are there any interested parties who would like to test the agent as soon as it is ready?

Feature requests are also welcome.

BR,
Simon

Im happy to test it, as I have a lot customers with fortigate firewalls.
Do you have a Github Repo for the check ?

Hi Andre,

I will publish the repo as soon as the first codebase is ready.
Today I received some feedback on the code from @andreas-doehler, which I would like to incorporate first.

I’ll keep you up to date.

Hi Simon,

Yes! I would to be okay if the testing group definitely.

Also what about some more detailed monitoring of the Fortigate Web Application Firewall (WAF)?

Thank you, Jakub

Hello,
A little update from my side. The tests (and the associated fixes :slight_smile: ) are coming to an end. I’m looking forward to the release of the Special Agent. This will probably take place in the next few days.
Thank you for your patience.
