OpenVPN: Client Connections

Included in	All Checkmk editions
Source Code License	Open Source
Supported Agents	Linux

This check uses the status file created by OpenVPN in order to check the state of the client connections and also to measure the inbound and outbound traffic. The traffic is measured raw - i.e. including keepalive packages and headers - not just the payload.

Currently the linux agent is expecting the status file at /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log. You can specify the path where OpenVPN should create this file with the directive status = in you openvpn.conf.

Item

The name of the OpenVPN connection (first column in the status file).

Discovery

One service is created for each active connection. Please use ignored_services if you want to restrict this.
