As I mentioned in the title, I want to monitor Fortigate firewall with Grafana using API. But i'm stuck about that... I tried it with Prometheus but always getting an error like; "server returned HTTP status 429 Too Many Requests" Actually i'm not sending any request to Fortigate and it always seems as "Down" in Prometheus :| So do you actually know that how can i do that? I also tried to find a way from web but they all say SNMP and Exporter that's not enough for me...

I tried some configurations in Prometheus like adding my login credentials into prometheus.yml but they didn't work i'm getting 429 error..

My prometheus.yml configuration

  • What is shown on `/api/v2/monitor/system/interface` of your fortigate? I have doubts that it is [expected by Prometheus format](https://prometheus.io/docs/instrumenting/exposition_formats/). – markalex May 31 '23 at 17:08
  • Hello, thanks for your suggestion i wasn't know that :) and it's shows a output like below; { "http_method":"GET", "revision":"1685604286.491689", "results":{ "port1":{ "id":"port1", "name":"port1", "alias":"", "mac":"00:00:00:00:00:00", "ip":"192.168.100.61", "mask":24, ... But i think even while i am using API i have to use FortiExporter, so i think that is the actual problem but i'm not sure. – Motun Tanhu Jun 01 '23 at 07:27
  • Yes. Actual problem is than this is not metrics, but rather some json. You need something to expose metrics to Prometheus in expected format. – markalex Jun 01 '23 at 07:34
  • I see and thank you again :) after some search ı realized something too.. ı have to issue a SSL to Firewall maybe that's is the another answer of my problem. – Motun Tanhu Jun 01 '23 at 14:45
