You would most likely need to find the OIDs that you require for monitoring and poll that (or push from FMC). you can do an SNMP walk on the FMC to find the OIDs you need.

sudo snmpwalk -v 2c -c <enter community string here> 127.0.0.1 | grep IF-MIB

@Marius Gunnerud

Thank you so much for your response.
It is on FMC's cli or on SNMP Server? kindly send me please its details too.

it is on the FMC. go into "expert" and do a local (127.0.0.1) SNMP walk there and you will get all the OIDs that you can query.

Hi @Namgyal

How were you able to setup the snmp traps on Cisco FMC? I managed to see the OIDs but I was stuck there. Not sure how will i configure the FMC itself (not the managed firewalls) to send traps.

hello @renzanjo-caparas
FMC itself can't send SNMP traps, you have to track OID of FMC interface which is connected to your FTD or firewall, and then track that OID from monitor tools like zabbix or tools that you are using to monitor your network.

To track OID of FMC interface login your FMC with CLI and perform below:
sudo snmpwalk -v 2c -c <enter community string here> 127.0.0.1 | grep IF-MIB
