OPNsense

OPNsense is an open source, FreeBSD-based firewall and routing software developed by Deciso, a company in the Netherlands that makes hardware and sells support packages for OPNsense. It is a fork of pfSense, which in turn was forked from m0n0wall, which was built on FreeBSD. It was launched in January 2015.

OPNsense by SNMP

Overview

Template for monitoring OPNsense by SNMP

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • OPNsense 22.1.9

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

  1. Enable bsnmpd daemon by creating new config file "/etc/rc.conf.d/bsnmpd" with the following content: bsnmpd_enable="YES"
  2. Uncomment the following lines in "/etc/snmpd.config" file to enable required SNMP modules: begemotSnmpdModulePath."hostres" = "/usr/lib/snmp_hostres.so" begemotSnmpdModulePath."pf" = "/usr/lib/snmp_pf.so"
  3. Start bsnmpd daemon with the following command: /etc/rc.d/bsnmpd start
  4. Setup a firewall rule to get access from Zabbix proxy or Zabbix server by SNMP (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/firewall.html).
  5. Link the template to a host.

SNMP agent opnsense.net.if.discovery

Item prototypes for Network interfaces discovery

Name Description Type Key and additional info
Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Inbound packets discarded

MIB: IF-MIB

The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded

even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system,

and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

SNMP agent net.if.in.discards[{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Change per second:
Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Inbound packets with errors

MIB: IF-MIB

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

SNMP agent net.if.in.errors[{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Change per second:
Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Bits received

MIB: IF-MIB

The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters. This object is a 64-bit version of ifInOctets. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Outbound packets discarded

MIB: IF-MIB

The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded

even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.

One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.

Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system,

and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

Preprocessing

  • Change per second:

For packet-oriented interfaces, the number of outbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, the number of outbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. Discontinuities in the value of this counter can occur at re-initialization of the management system, and at other times as indicated by the value of ifCounterDiscontinuityTime.

Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Speed

MIB: IF-MIB

An estimate of the interface's current bandwidth in units of 1,000,000 bits per second. If this object reports a value of n' then the speed of the interface is somewhere in the range of n-500,000' to`n+499,999'. For interfaces which do not vary in bandwidth or for those where no accurate estimation can be made, this object should contain the nominal bandwidth. For a sub-layer which has no concept of bandwidth, this object should be zero.

SNMP agent net.if.speed[{#SNMPINDEX}]

Preprocessing

  • Custom multiplier: 1000000

  • Discard unchanged with heartbeat: 1h

Interface [{#IFNAME}({#IFALIAS})]: Operational status

MIB: IF-MIB

The current operational state of the interface.

- The testing(3) state indicates that no operational packet scan be passed

- If ifAdminStatus is down(2) then ifOperStatus should be down(2)

- If ifAdminStatus is changed to up(1) then ifOperStatus should change to up(1) if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic

- It should change todormant(5) if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection)

- It should remain in the down(2) state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up(1) state

- It should remain in the notPresent(6) state if the interface has missing(typically, hardware) components.
