Is it possible to get a proxy device's proxy address by querying the Orion.Nodes table?

As far as I can tell, the answer appears to be no. I guess the real question is, which table(s) can I query to get the actual proxy address of a given proxy device?

Thanks!

  • I'm not entirely sure what mean by "proxy device" and "proxy address" in this context. Does the address in question appear anywhere in the Orion UI? If so, I can help you track down where it shows up in the API.

    Talking about a Fortinet, Inc. Proxy device/devices.

    The "actual proxy IP/address" I'm talking about shows up in the "All IP Addresses on <DeviceCaption>" box on the Orion Web UI. ( Node Details / ...Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:007 screen.) It's the 2nd in a list of four (in the case of the device I'm currently looking at), but I have no idea whether or not it's ALWAYS the 2nd IP. And even if it IS always the 2nd address, as stated, I can't seem to find a column/field in the Orion.Nodes table.

  • Is there anything in the Fortinet MIB that would reveal this information accurately? Seems like a UnDP might be a good option here.

  • That list comes from the Orion.NodeIPAddresses entity. I wouldn't rely on the order. However that table also lists the InterfaceIndex associated with each IP address. If the Fortinet devices use a consistent interface index for the proxy address, that might be something you can rely on.
