[Openvpn-users] SNMP and OpenVPN

[Florian Schülein]

Hi!

Is there a way to monitor some information about OpenVPN like connected
clients? Perhaps by SNMP?

Hey Jacusy,

I'm the developer of OpenVPN Status Viewer
(http://www.mertech.com.au/?=OpenVPNStatusViewer). I'm actually about 1-2
days away from releasing its successor...

The new program is called OpenVPN User Manager and has the same
functionality of the old program with these added following features:

* Tracking of users, collects connection/disconnection times and bytes
sent/received.
* Ability to 'Kill' users from the application
* General information about users
* Custom log file creator (you can make your own templates for data logs)
* It now uses the Management console to receive all information
* Full ASP.NET 2.0 web server built in with web access to program
information (hopefully in the next minor release I will have full web
services so people can plug directly into the information)
* Ability to customise ASP.NET web server files (you could put a company
logo, etc)
* And I'm sure there is more I've forgotten to mention

Here are some screenshots of the latest build:

Oh and its 100% free, no spyware, adware but also no support (you can email
me problems/feature requests though)

Cheers,

Hi Jonathan!

Looks pretty nice, but I'd like to see how many users are connected at
the same time. This number should be noted every 5 minutes and drawn
into a diagram, just like cacti does. A picture like this would be the
result:

Checking your website, it looks as if this viewer requires Windows.
Are there any plans to support non-Windows with a X interface? Any
reason a choice was made to be Windows centric?

Well, SNMP is currently not part of OpenVPN but you could use the management interface to
connect to your OpenVPN process and to gather information about connected clients,
transferred traffic and more.

If you are scheduling this every 5 minutes you have the possibility to do a script-based
gathering for Cacti.

Best regards,

Hey Brett,

This tool started out as a small project to see which of my friend was
connected. As I only use windows these days this was my only focus.

However getting it to work on Linux using mono (Linux .net framework) will
be a priority after I get the windows version bug free.

After I release the windows version I will start converting it to Linux. I
only have one more week off from work and uni, so hopefully I will be able
to get it done in that time.

Cheers,
