I was populating ASA firewalls to our new Network Management System (NMS), which is Solarwinds Orion. First, I need to enable and allow SNMP on the ASA firewall before it can be polled for statistical data. The NMS IP address should also be reachable by the ASA, so I created a static route to point the NMS IP subnet which is located on the "inside" network.
