Description: Fortinet FortiAuthenticator MIB providing SNMP management objects for centralized authentication, certificate management, and two-factor auth services.
Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.
What Is FORTINET-FORTIAUTHENTICATOR-MIB?
FORTINET-FORTIAUTHENTICATOR-MIB is a Fortinet enterprise MIB for the FortiAuthenticator appliance, which provides centralized authentication services including RADIUS/LDAP proxying, certificate management, and two-factor (FortiToken) authentication. It exposes system identity data (model, serial number, software version), resource utilization metrics, high-availability status, and authentication service capacity counters such as user and group counts and licensed token counts. It is explicitly useful for monitoring hardware/software status: facSysCpuUsage and facSysMemUsage track CPU and memory load, facSysLogDiskUsage tracks disk space consumption by logs, facSysVersion tracks firmware version, and facHaCurrentStatus reports HA cluster health/failover state. It depends on the standard Fortinet enterprise MIB conventions shared across FortiGate/FortiWeb sibling products but is otherwise self-contained. It is typically deployed in enterprise or service-provider identity/authentication infrastructure alongside FortiGate firewalls doing 802.1X or VPN authentication. Engineers can download the FORTINET-FORTIAUTHENTICATOR-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.
IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in FORTINET-FORTIAUTHENTICATOR-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.
Supported Devices
- Fortinet FortiAuthenticator appliance
Monitoring Examples
An administrator polling facSysCpuUsage and facSysMemUsage can detect resource exhaustion on a FortiAuthenticator handling a surge of RADIUS authentication requests, while facSysLogDiskUsage nearing capacity warns of an impending log-storage failure. facAuthUserCount versus facAuthUsersRemaining and facFortiTokenCount reveal how close the appliance is to its licensed user or token limits. facHaCurrentStatus would be checked to confirm the active/standby role of each node in an HA pair, and a change in that value signals an unplanned failover event.
What Can Be Monitored
- CPU usage
- memory usage
- log disk usage
- HA status
- authenticated user/group counts
- FortiToken license count
