What DumbMonit watches
A SonicWall firewall (TZ, NSa, NSsp, NSv) through the SonicOS 7 API: the link of every interface bound to a zone. Kept minimal on purpose. This integration was built from what SonicWall publishes about the SonicOS API, not against a running appliance. The exact fields of the interface status answer are not documented, so DumbMonit reads it tolerantly: any object carrying a name and a status string (status or link_status) is an interface. Tunnel, HA and licence states are not read, because no API path for them could be confirmed. Tell us what breaks.
Typical use. Beta. Firewall: interface links only
Examples
- SonicWall TZ / NSa / NSsp
- SonicWall NSv
- SonicOS 7.x
How it connects
What you need
- User name and passwordThe dumbmonit user, in a read-only group, sent as HTTP Basic.
Network ports to open
443/TCPManagement interface (HTTPS, default)
Setup steps: Create a read-only user for the SonicOS API
Device → Settings → Administration → Audit/SonicOS API: make sure HTTP Basic Access (RFC-2617) is on, then click Accept.
Device → Users → Local Users & Groups → Add User: name it as follows, give it a long random password and add it to the group SonicWall Read-Only Admins.
dumbmonitAllow HTTPS management on the interface DumbMonit reaches the firewall through (Device → Network → Interfaces → Configure → Management).
In DumbMonit, enter the firewall address (sonicwall.lan) with that user name and password.
Heads-up. The management interface ships a self-signed certificate: tick "Accept an unverifiable certificate" unless you installed your own.
