SNMP Monitors

FortiTester allows you to monitor a FortiGate device under test (DUT) from the management interface. To do so, you must create a DUT monitor object template and then import it when you configure test settings.

To create a DUT monitor object template:
  1. Go to Performance Testing or Security Testing > Objects > SNMP Monitors.
  2. Click + Create New to display the configuration page.
  3. Configure the following settings:
  • Name—The name of your DUT monitor object template
  • Management IP—The monitored DUT IP address
  • Community Name—The community name you choose for the DUT
  • Monitor Setting—The name and OID for the DUT.
    You can customize the OIDs by clicking or click to delete the OID.


  • Click Save to save the configuration.
  • After you have created a DUT monitor template, you can clone or export it as a zip file. This template can be selected from the DUT Monitor option when creating a test. If it is selected, you can monitor the DUT from the DUT Monitor tab on the management interface.
