To answer your question, yes, I have been able to pull stats out of the sonicwall. Im not sure if its the stats that you are looking for, but hopefully this will at least help get you moving in the right direction. One thing that I did notice that bugs me though is that the Sonicwall does not save the information that MRTG graphs by default. Meaning that it does not record the ifInOctets and ifOutOctets, which is extremely frusterating.
I didnt originally setup the Sonicwall, but I can try to explain what I did to get as far as I did. The first thing that I did was to log into the router and went to the management page. (Im not looking at the router right now, since I cant get to it from home. If this doesnt work, let me know and Ill help as much as i can). I enabled SNMP and set the community phrase, system location, and contact values. I did not fill in the trap host or anything like that. After setting this stuff up, I needed to either load the MIBs into mrtg or determine the numeric OID. I found that determining the numeric OID to be the easiest route. So to determine the numeric value I used the snmptranslate command from the net-snmp pkg. I created the ~/.snmp/mibs directory and copied all the sonicwall MIBS to that dir. (sonic_stats.MIB, SW-SMI.MIB, SW-FIREWALL-TRAP.MIB) I then created the file ~/.snmp/snmp.conf and added the following line: mibs +ALL After adding this line, I was able to get access to the values that I wanted. The first thing that I did was to determine which OIDs I wanted to graph. I found the list of stats by either looking at the MIB file or using snmpwalk. snmpwalk -c public -v 2c 172.20.1.2 sonicSAStatEntry This listed all the stats that the sonicwall stores per SA. (There might be more stats, but these were the ones that I was interested in graphing) After it listed all the OIDs, I selected the ones that I wanted which were the sonicSAStatEncryptByteCount and sonicSAStatDecryptByteCount. Now, I used snmptranslate to determine the numeric OID. % snmptranslate -IR -On sonicSAStatEncryptByteCount .1.3.6.1.4.1.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.9 % snmptranslate -IR -On sonicSAStatDecryptByteCount .1.3.6.1.4.1.8741.1.3.2.1.1.1.11 By using this numeric value and the indicies of the SAs from the snmpwalk command, I was able to modify the mrtg.cfg file which is shown below. Which brings me to the problem that I am currently having. Since the sonicwall only stores the stats sorted by the SA index, I need to add all the EncryptByteCounts and DecryptByteCounts together and as SAs are added and torn down, I get errors bcause the index number doesnt exist or something like that. One last thing that I forgot to mention. When I setup the mib folder and ran snmpwalk, I got a ton of errors about the Counter type variable being specified in the MIB file was incorrect and should be Counter32 instead. So I modified the MIB file (only sonic_stats.MIB) and changed all occurances of Counter to Counter32. I have no idea if this caused me to start getting values, but i figured that I would throw it out just in case. I hope that this helps you all out. Good luck. If you have any other questions, feel free to email me and I will try to help as much as possible. If I figure out a script that will add all the ByteCountes together without having to worry about the changing indicies, I will post that.
