Title: os-net-snmp: OID for pending firmware updates?
Post by: DanielD on October 22, 2026, 07:02:12 PM
I manage several OPNsense firewalls for clients and monitor them through our RMM (NinjaOne) using SNMPv3 via os-net-snmp, on 26.7.7.

"Display Version in OID" works well. The installed version comes through as an nsExtend entry, and we monitor it. What we'd really like is an alert when a firewall has pending updates, raised on the firewall itself, the same way a Synology DSM exposes an "upgrade available" OID.

The data is there (dashboard update notice / /api/core/firmware/status), but our RMM's network monitoring can only poll SNMP, not the REST API, and I'd rather not hand-edit snmpd.conf across a fleet.

Is there an existing way to do this that I've missed? If not, would a "Display update status in OID" option be feasible, similar to the version option? For example, an extend returning none / update / upgrade from the last firmware check, or simply an integer (0 = no updates, 1 = updates available), which is easier to alert on.

Happy to test.
