Hi everyone !!
I'm looking for some better way to generate a report of users
sessions only to get info when they start and end a session ,
currently i do it with a shell script that looks for lines in the
openvpn log file when someone connect and authenticate successfully
and for disconnection i look for those lines when a client send a
explicit notify or signals SIGTERM and SIGUSR. If someone here know a
proper way to do it or some ready tool /software that generate this
info please help me.
from the man page
--status file [n]
Write operational status to file every n seconds.
Status can also be written to the syslog by sending a
SIGUSR2 signal.
With multi-client capability enabled on a server, the
status file includes a list of clients and a
routing table. The output format can be controlled by
the --status-version option in that case.
For clients or instances running in point-to-point mode,
it will contain the traffic statistics.
--status-version [n]
Set the status file format version number to n.
This only affects the status file on servers with
multi-client capability enabled.
1 -- traditional format (default). The client list
contains the following fields comma-separated: Com‐
mon Name, Real Address, Bytes Received, Bytes Sent,
Connected Since.
2 -- a more reliable format for external processing.
Compared to version 1, the client list contains
some additional fields: Virtual Address, Virtual IPv6
Address, Username, Client ID, Peer ID. Future
versions may extend the number of fields.
3 -- identical to 2, but fields are tab-separated.
is this what you are looking for?
HTH,
JJK
