Logging Issue

yctn

Hello,

i would like to monitor per user when he/she connected/disconnected.

in Pfsense 2.1 we used the PPTP Logins page.

this would shows something like this:

Mar 2 14:17:19 [logout] rene 172.17.145.211
Mar 2 14:14:20 [login] rene 172.17.145.211
Feb 16 11:38:47 [logout] rene 172.17.145.211
Feb 16 11:35:55 [login] rene 172.17.145.211

so with a cron i pulled in this data and made a web UI so i could see the total time connected for eatch user and a log of when he/she connected/disconnected this worked perfect for us.

but for openvpn there is no logins log page. there is only the status_logs.php?logfile=openvpn page.

these Logs are pretty hard to proces since it shows data in this format.

Mar 6 09:49:59 openvpn 19520 213.207.92.199:40469 [ralph] Peer Connection Initiated with [AF_INET]213.207.92.199:40469
Mar 6 09:50:01 openvpn 19520 ralph/213.207.92.199:40469 send_push_reply(): safe_cap=940
Mar 6 09:55:25 openvpn 19520 ralph/213.207.92.199:40469 [ralph] Inactivity timeout (–ping-restart), restarting.

Would it be possible to make an Openvpn logins page?

is there a package maby for pfsense i could install to show me the connected/disconnect time and total time?

Any idea's are welcome.

Thanks in advance

you probably want to set the verbosity level higher then default (no clue how high: experiment)

then you could script something to fetch/parse the required data into a text-file or html


clog /var/log/openvpn.log | grep Initiated > logons.txt
clog /var/log/openvpn.log | grep Inactivity > timeouts.txt

you probably want more complicated regex or use different tools instead of grep to get it nicely formatted/sorted
