Monitoring OpenVPN plugin

[muratkoc]

Hi,

This is the basic openvpn monitoring plugin, it can monitor number of connected clients, total bytes in and total bytes out. You can enhance it to whatever your needs.

Here are the steps;

1-) Download the script and rename it to check_openvpn.sh
2-) Copy to /home/zabbix/bin/check_openvpn.sh on the openvpn server
3-) Add this line to openvpn's server.conf and restart openvpn

management 127.0.0.1 1150

4-) add items as openvpn[nclients], openvpn[bytesin] and openvpn[bytesout]

That's all, it is easy to make graphs etc so I don't provide template.

Hope this helps to openvpn users to give idea.

Forgot to say add userparameter as follow;

UserParameter=openvpn[*],/home/zabbix/bin/check_openvpn.sh $1

Hello,

I have done this differently : I used the "short status file".

Also my script is not just for Zabbix since it create a log file containing all terminated sessions, wtih their duration in minute, which is very useful to actually know how your OpenVPN server is used ;-)

What the settings should be on the zabbix server and see how it should look?
