Event Types

In ADMIN > Device Support > Event Types, search for "infoblox" to see the event types associated with this device.

Reports

In RESOURCES > Reports, search for "infoblox" in the main content panel Search... field to see the reports associated with this application or device.

Configuration

SNMP

FortiSIEM uses SNMP to discover and monitor this device. Make sure SNMP is enabled for the device as directed in its product documentation. For more information, refer to sections "Discovery Settings" and "Setting Credentials" in the User Guide.

SNMP Trap

FortiSIEM processes events from this device via SNMP traps sent by the device. Configure the device to send SNMP traps to FortiSIEM as directed in the device's product documentation, and FortiSIEM will parse the contents.

Settings for Access Credentials

SNMP Access Credentials for All Devices

Use these Access Method Definition settings to allow FortiSIEM to communicate with your device over SNMP. Set the Name and Community String.
