Using arpwatch tables to import IP's to Nedi
« on: August 12, 2019, 06:12:03 pm »
Hello all, I have a fancy new Palo Alto firewall and I have moved some VLAN's over to it. I ran into trouble with Nedi which ultimately I figured out was because Palo Alto doesn't provide MAC/ARP with SNMP (boooo!!!).

I am attempting to pull a fast one on Nedi by using Arpwatch. I wrote a shell script that connects to the Palo Alto, pulls down an ARP list, formats it into a standard Arpwatch file, and then waits for Nedi to come collect it.

When I run Nedi manually, it *seems* to be collecting the data and ingesting it ...

BUT, then if I search my Nedi database for any Nodes or Devices with these IP addresses - I come up empty. If I search for the MAC address, I can find it. But the IP is blank. Is there something else that I need to do to force Nedi to connect these two pieces of information?

You might as well just upgrade to 1.8 as it supports reading Palo's ARP cache via SNMP. It'll be relased officially in a few weeks :-)

Ups, I meant SSH not SNMP. They don't support that Mib...
