Prerequisites

To control your Fortinet Fortigate, the Rest API must be configured. E.g: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.2.1/administration-guide/399023/rest-api-administrator

Setup

Online License

1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Fortinet Fortigate resources:

2. On the Centreon web interface, install the Fortinet Fortigate Rest API Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connectors Manager page.

Offline License

1. Install the Centreon package on every Centreon poller expected to monitor Fortinet Fortigate resources:

yum install centreon-plugin-Network-Fortinet-Fortigate-Restapi

2. Install the Fortinet Fortigate Rest API Centreon Pack RPM on the Centreon Central server:

yum install centreon-pack-network-fortinet-fortigate-restapi

3. On the Centreon web interface, install the Fortinet Fortigate Rest API Centreon Pack on the Configuration > Monitoring Connectors Manager page.

Configuration

Host

• Log into Centreon and add a new host through Configuration > Hosts.
• Fill the Name, Alias and IP Address / DNS fields according to your Fortinet Fortigate equipment settings.
• Apply the Net-Fortinet-Fortigate-Restapi-custom template to the host.
• Once the template is applied, fill in the corresponding macros. Some macros are mandatory.

Mandatory	Name	Description
X	APIPORT	Port used (Default: 443)
X	APIPROTO	Specify https if needed (Default: 'https')
X	APIACCESSTOKEN	API token
	APIEXTRAOPTIONS	Any extra option you may want to add to the command (eg. a --verbose flag)

How to check in the CLI that the configuration is OK and what are the main options for?

Once the plugin is installed, log into your Centreon poller's CLI using the centreon-engine user account (su - centreon-engine) and test the plugin by running the following command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_fortinet_fortigate_restapi.pl \
    --plugin=network::fortinet::fortigate::restapi::plugin \
    --mode=system \
    --hostname='10.30.2.79' \
    --port='443' \
    --proto='https' \
    --api-token='mytoken' \
    --verbose

The expected command output is shown below:

All available options for a given mode can be displayed by adding the --help parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_fortinet_fortigate_restapi.pl \
    --plugin=network::fortinet::fortigate::restapi::plugin \
    --mode=system \
    --help

All available modes can be displayed by adding the --list-mode parameter to the command:

/usr/lib/centreon/plugins/centreon_fortinet_fortigate_restapi.pl \
    --plugin=network::fortinet::fortigate::restapi::plugin \
    --list-mode
