wazuh - dashboard creation [ Network monitoring ]

[nithul t]

Hello,

I am currently setting up a lab environment with a Wazuh server and a FortiGate firewall, both deployed in AWS. My goal is to create a dashboard in Wazuh that displays various resource metrics such as CPU utilization, memory usage, storage, etc.

To collect the necessary data, I have configured SNMP on the FortiGate firewall and integrated it with the Wazuh server. My question is how to use this SNMP data effectively for creating dashboards within Wazuh for visualization purposes.

While I am aware that Zabbix is a potential solution for monitoring and visualization, I am specifically looking for guidance on how to directly utilize SNMP data within Wazuh's dashboard without relying on additional tools like Zabbix.

Any insights or step-by-step guidance on how to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hi Nithul,

As Wazuh is not a traditional SNMP Trap receiver. If you need such implementation, send SNMP Traps to a structured log file and read the log file with the Wazuh Agent. decode it and write your custom rule.

Next, you can make alerts and visualizations based on that. Check this doc for an example of how you can monitor resources of Linux OS

Otherwise, I suggest you use tools like Zabbix or Solarwind for this that have SNMP Trap receiver.


Let me know if you need any further information.
