Overview

Zabbix Sophos Red

When we switch sophos off, like we did over the weekend, the server was fine and didn;t send out a flood of zabbix alerts. Upon turning Sophos back on we are seeing the same regular issues. I have setup a cron job to kill mtdd every 6 hours as well. Template to monitor configuration changes on Sophos UTM devices with v 9.6.Tested in the following environment: 1. Sophos UTM VM with Home license2. Sophos API version 1.33. Zabbix v 4.0.34. Python v 2.7.5Installation manual can be found by following the link in the description. Zabbix version (it should work on 2.2. as well, but not tested). Check on Sophos KB how to enable it on SG or XG appliances.

  1. Zabbix is probably the best classical monitoring software out there that is also FOSS. It is superior to Nagios and other similar software from implementation to utilization, and equal in capabilities.
  2. Monitor Sophos XG System with Zabbix / SNMP. Does anyone monitor system metrics on their Sophos XG with Zabbix or something similar? There is built in stuff that monitors some things, but I would also like to see things RAM usage. I just wondered how people are monitoring system metrics with the Sophos XG.
