Hello Jasin,
To monitor the VPN of Sophos XG firewall, I invite you to download the corresponding MIB files (for version 17 and 18) here: https://docs.sophos.com/nsg/sophos-firewall/18.0/Help/en-us/webhelp/onlinehelp/AdministratorHelp/Administration/SNMP/index.html#mib-and-oids.
Then, open the MIB file which corresponds to your version with the MIB Importer tool. You should then find the OIDs which provide information regarding the VPN tunnels (under sfosipsec vpn tunnel).
Afterwards, you have the possibility to export only these OIDs by enabling the partial selection in the menu File and then use the button Save Partial Selection As.. from the same menu.
Finally, import the oidlib file in the snmplibs folder located by default under "C:\Program Files (x86)\PRTG Network Monitor\". You should then be able to create sensors based on the oidlib file by using the SNMP Library sensor.
If you have questions, do not hesitate.
Regards.

Hello Jasin,
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding the error SNMP -2003, it indicates that the probe has not receive any response from the target device. Therefore, can you please check that SNMP is activated on the corresponding interface in your firewall under Administration > Device access as illustrated below:
I also invite you to make sure that the SNMP agent is enabled on your firewall and that PRTG is able to execute query against it (under Administration > SNMP), as illustrated below:
Finally, the SNMP settings (port and community) must be the same as the one defined in the device settings in PRTG, under Credentials for SNMP devices.
Afterwards, PRTG should be able to communicate with the firewall via SNMP. If you still encounter the issue, then I invite you to check if there is a rule blocking the traffic on the corresponding port.
Regards.
