 Description   

First of all, I'm new to zabbix.
I have a MIB file provided by Fortigate (Fortinet firewall device) to monitor with SNMP.

I know I can't use the mib file as a zabbix template but I can't find a way to convert the mib to an XML template for zabbix.

I read somewhere that it is possible to use the mib file but I have to import it into the mib directory using ftp on the zabbix server, is this a solution?

I already tried 2 different projects that help convert mib to XML model but they don't work.

Hello Carla,

There is no official MIB to template converter, template should be created manually using information from the MIB file.
