What is Discovered and Monitored

Protocol	Information Discovered	Metrics collected	Used for
SNMP	Host name, generic hardware (cpu, memory, network interface, disk), software (operating system version, installed software, running processes, open TCP/UDP ports)	Uptime, CPU/Memory/Network Interface/Disk space utilization, Network Interface Errors, Running Process Count, Installed Software change, Running process CPU/memory utilization, Running process start/stop, TCP/UDP port up/down	Performance Monitoring
SSH	Hardware (cpu details, memory)	Memory paging rate, Disk I/O utilization	Performance Monitoring
Syslog	Vendor, Model	General logs including Authentication Success/Failure, Privileged logons, User/Group Modification	Security Monitoring and Compliance

Reports

There are no predefined reports for this device.

Configuration

• SNMP v1 and v2c

• SSH

• Syslog

SNMP v1 and v2c

1. Make sure that snmp libraries are installed. FortiSIEM has been tested to work with the default AIX package that comes with snmpd preinstalled.
2. Start snmpd deamon with the default configuration by issuing /etc/init.d/snmpd restart.
3. Make sure that snmpd is running.

SSH

1. Make sure that the vmstat and iostat commands are available. If not, install these libraries.
2. Create a user account that can issue vmstat and iostat commands. FortiSIEM will use that user account to log in to the server.

Syslog

1. Makes sure that /etc/syslog.conf contains a *.* entry and points to a log file.
   
   . @<SENSORIPADDRESS>
   
2. Refresh syslogd.
   
   # refresh -s syslogd
