FortiGate + FortiSwitch & FortiAP Controller Integration

Here’s an old link to a feature request of the same nature that was not implemented: Feature request: Support for Wireless hardware controlled by a FortiGate Firewall

I’d like to revive this idea once more. FortiGate firewalls contain both wireless and switch controllers for FortiSwitches and FortiAPs.

The FortiGate MIB contains sections titled “fgWc” for the wireless controller and “fgSw” for the switch controller. I’ve looked through the two sections and they contain all the SNMP information I’d like to see in LibreNMS.

This would be a great integration as it would prevent us from having to create additional infrastructure and workarounds to monitor FortiSwitches and FortiAPs as it would grant us the ability to monitor the devices through the FortiGate that we’re already monitoring.

That I would like!

And some improvements in how the Inventory is populated, it would be great if it showed the secondary (if in HA) firewall atleast serial number and the accesspoints aswell as the switches.
Then that could be used for asset management.
