Description: Monitors host objects, address groups, and network object definitions used in NETASQ firewall policy.

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 NETASQ-HOSTS-MIB?

NETASQ-HOSTS-MIB is a NETASQ (French firewall vendor, later Stormshield) proprietary MIB reporting per-host traffic statistics observed by the firewall. Its hosts table, keyed by IP address, records hostname, interface, packet and byte counts, connection count, current/maximum throughput, and separate inbound/outbound byte counts and current/maximum throughput. As a performance/status MIB it lets an administrator identify which specific host is generating the most traffic through a NETASQ firewall. It is deployed on NETASQ (Stormshield) firewall appliances. Engineers can download the NETASQ-HOSTS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NETASQ-HOSTS-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

  • NETASQ (Stormshield) firewall appliances

Monitoring Examples

An administrator sorts ntqHostsTable by ntqBytes to identify which internal host is consuming the most bandwidth through a NETASQ firewall.

What Can Be Monitored

  • per-host traffic volume and throughput

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using ntqPackets OID:

Select an NETASQ (Stormshield) firewall appliance (per-host traffic statistics) as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type ntqPackets into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. It reports total packet count. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is a Counter64-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases sharply between polls relative to its normal baseline, since an unexpected spike often reflects a real change in traffic or activity. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
