Email Notification - OpenVPN Client Connect (Common Name)

@stewart

Are you perhaps experiencing the same thing I was in this post https://forum.netgate.com/post/897352 ?

The disconnect lags well behind the actual disconnection.

@stewart

sounds interesting

a) use a 2nd user
b) connect with user 1
c) connect with user 2 when user 1 is connected
d) disconnect user 1
e) shortly after done d) disconnect user 2

both users are written in your file ?

be so kind and show us logFile and script
brNP

I'll get a second pc up and running to test with. It'll take a few.

Yes and no. Yes, I'm experiencing it and it can be resolved by adding explicit-exit-notify to the client. No, in that the issue I'm dealing with is that during that delay it seems like no scripts are running.

[noplan]

for me this whole case is pretty interesting
because we're using this script like a ton of admins too to get information on the openVPN usage
and noOne except @JeGr (as always ) was looking for

but without explicit-exit-notify UDP clients don't inform the server of their disconnect

so plz keep us posted with all the details you got

I can confirm that the logging only affects that account. I simulated with a second PC. Had it connect and then disconnect. While waiting, I had the first machine connect and disconnect. It shows all of the logs as expected. It seems the lack of processing is limited to that one account.

@stewart

strange...

But good news for us that everything is works as expected

You can create a feature request for this:

You can create a feature request for this:

for what ?
the eMail notification ?

yes notification would be cool, but cooler but not job of the firewall
would be a reporting tool with output like in post#76

anyhow reading this from top to bottom
usin search function of this forum there will pop up a pretty professional tool
based on this a lot of people are using to get information about their openVPN connections
especially when you have to monitor contractors and other folks gettin access to your network

or am i gettin it wrong ?

I wanted to update on what I've created so far. I hope this all comes through properly. There is still experimental stuff in there as I figure it out and the code is sloppy in some places (especially as I hacked in the stuff to make it blend in to the pfSense theming) but the basic stuff is all there.

What I'd like to do is make the table filterable based on users and date range. I was going to start trying it in php but maybe it's already a built-in class that's been made like how it is already sortable. I've also had Javascript recommended to me. I don't want to reinvent the wheel so let me know if I'm missing something. I'd also like to add in a function to sum up all of the time of the disconnected sessions to see how long someone has been connected. That way administrators can see how long a user was connected over a day, or week, or however long they want to see for. I'd also like to tally up the data usage for visibility.

Edit: Since nobody has replied since I posted it, I've updated the code for whomever is interested. I guess all that's left is to filter by date range.

Edit 2: Sample Output

I don't know how much interest there is in this since I haven't received feedback from the code I've posted, but here is the updated code I have so far.

Here is the output:

I don't know if I have the ability to actually integrate it at all. I'm guessing I'll need to submit this somewhere but I don't know what that process is.

Our clients have been finding that allowing employees work from home isn't nearly as effective as having them in the office. We've been asked by several companies now to see how much the employees are actually connecting in over the VPN to get their work done. Please let me know if this is useful for you or if you have any feedback.

I'm gonna test it as soon as I'm back in office

@Stewart
Very appreciated here. Thanks!

[Stewart]

I'm finishing up some updates. It includes selecting a date range instead of a particular day and defaults to the current month instead of showing the whole log file when it opens. I have some out of office appointments today but hope to be able to post the update later today.

The update includes a few enhancements such as date range, better selection defaults, and log file limiting as well as improved notation. Give a spin and let me know how it works out for you.

@noplan @psp

Have you had a chance to test out the scripts? Any feedback?

[psp]

@stewart said in Email Notification - OpenVPN Client Connect (Common Name):

@psp

Have you had a chance to test out the scripts? Any feedback?

Sure! I only changed the timestamp to use H24 notation. No issues so far:

[WVA]

@stewart Thank you for this script, works like a charm !

Regarding the log file limiting you mention, I can't seem to find this in your code ?
I think it would be good to set a maximum filesize (and/or even truncate files) ? What would be best practice in implementing this ?

And what if one has multiple OpenVPN servers, would grouping by server be possible ? Maybe in the same manner as usernames are being propped in an array and end user can choose from by dropdown list ?

[Stewart]

Sorry, I didn't see a message that someone had posted in here.

Regarding the log file limiting you mention, I can't seem to find this in your code ?
I think it would be good to set a maximum filesize (and/or even truncate files) ? What would be best practice in implementing this ?

Very good question and one I don't have an answer to. I haven't really looked at it other than to know it needs to be done, otherwise the file will just continue to grow. At that point, it may be a cron job but I'd assume it would be need to be handled like the rest of the system logs and I have no idea how to do that.

I can tell you that the site I developed this on has several VPN users that connect and disconnect frequently throughout the day. Their /var/log/OpenVPN_Users.log file appears to be growing at about 10K / week or roughly 1 MB every other year. Over the expected 7 year lifecycle I suppose it will only be about 3.5MB - 4MB in size. Hardly a concern for this system but for systems with many users constantly going in and out it could get larger, faster.

And what if one has multiple OpenVPN servers, would grouping by server be possible ? Maybe in the same manner as usernames are being propped in an array and end user can choose from by dropdown list ?

Another good question. I'm not sure if that is a variable that can be extracted. Since the script files are unique to the server you could theoretically just rename the connect.sh, disconnect.sh, OpenVPN_Users.log, and vpn_openvpn_userlogging.php files and then update the pointers in the files to the new locations. That would cause you to have a second page that tracks the second server. Off the top of my head it seems fairly simple for you to do manually, but not automatically by the script if you can't pull the name of the server from the $local_connect_value.

[Stewart]

I had an issue with a user where the case changed between login and logout. No idea why but it created some oddities in the logs so I've updated the connect.sh and disconnect.sh files with a minor strtolower change.

It's been working in our environment but there's no real integration into the GUI and I need to manually type in the page each time. Is there a way to integrate it or get it integrated? I know if I go mucking around in the interface it's just going to get overwritten with the next update.

Also, 4 months later and the log file is roughly 169K in size so it will grow to about .5MB after a year, depending on usage. That keeps it in line with my estimate of 3.5MB-4MB after the 7 year lifecycle.
