Does SolarWinds supports monitoring of cisco router NAT translation?
If yes, are there any special configuration on the router aside from the snmp?
I'd like to do the same thing - monitor and trend the number of NAT translations on my edge router. I can "show ip nat translatiions" and it gives me a total. I've opened a case with Cisco TAC, to ask them what the MIB is. I'll post here if I hear anything. I have a ISR Gen2 4451 router.
TAC said it's in development, but not supported at the moment.
In the meantime, I found a script to run cli commands, export it to a MIB which NPM should be able to read and chart:

It seems to be working on my ISR 4451 with code:
Cisco IOS XE Software, Version 03.16.02.S - Extended Support Release
Cisco IOS Software, ISR Software (X86_64_LINUX_IOSD-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.5(3)S2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
I'm going to copy and paste, in case this page disappears:
============PASTE====================================
IOS-XE supports the SNMP MIB since 3.15 version
And there are at least two methods for a manipulating expression-MIB
1) With EEM Tcl script (The right way)
I.e this Tcl script: Cli Value 2 Snmp Expr MIB
2) With EEM CLI applet (Simple, but potentially can conflict with other EEM applets).
Below lab config (Use at your own risk!):
1. Create expression owner
snmp mib expression owner nat name 1 description Total active translations value type integer32
2. EEM applet
Every 10 minutes the applet sets the total number of translations to expression MIB.The SNMP OID for pullig 1.3.6.1.2.1.90.1.2.1.1.3.3.110.97.116.1.49

After about 18 hours of monitoring ...
Can you share the steps to implement the NAT session monitoing.
Its up above but here it is again:

how you enabled this can you share the steps ??
