Check fortios-sensor

Overview

The check fetches detailed sensor information from a Forti Appliance like FortiGate running FortiOS, using the FortiOS REST API. Warns automatically by comparing to pre-defined appliance thresholds. The authentication is done via a single API token (Token-based authentication), not via Session-based authentication, which is stated as "legacy".

usage: fortios-sensor [-h] [-V] [--always-ok] -H HOSTNAME [--insecure]
                      [--no-proxy] --password PASSWORD [--timeout TIMEOUT]

Checks FortiOS sensor information in detail.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  --always-ok           Always returns OK.
  -H, --hostname HOSTNAME
                        FortiOS-based Appliance address, optional including
                        port ("192.168.1.1:443").
  --insecure            This option explicitly allows to perform "insecure"
                        SSL connections. Default: False
  --no-proxy            Do not use a proxy. Default: False
  --password PASSWORD   FortiOS REST API Single Access Token.
  --timeout TIMEOUT     Network timeout in seconds. Default: 3 (seconds)

Usage Examples

./fortios-sensor --hostname fortigate-cluster.linuxfabrik.io --password mypass

States

  • CRIT, if sensor value is \<= lower_critical or >= upper_critical
  • WARN, if sensor value is \<= lower_non_critical or >= upper_non_critical
