OpenVPN: Client Connections

Distribution	Official part of Checkmk
License	GPLv2
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.
