      Hi Guys,

      I'm curious on people's current setup and thoughts for PFsense monitoring. I'm aware of SNMP and Zabbix options but I'm currently looking into a monitoring solution which is outbound only from PFsenses to a centralized WAN location.

      It seems most of SNMP/Zabbix configurations need the monitoring server to poll from/talk to the endpoints being monitoring. Rather than the agent itself talking outbound only to that server.

      I could be wrong as it's a new project/research.

      What monitoring solutions could be used that could talk to a centralized monitoring server. Heartbeats', Disk Space, Monitoring of services etc.

      Any information/help is appreciated!

        We have our own solution in the works but no ETA for that yet.

        Currently I would setup VPNs from each and then use whatever tool works best you across that.
