I just uploaded a package to add the OpenVPN status page from 2.0 to 1.2.3. Details here:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,22301.msg114826.html#msg114826

oh thank you SO much….this is exactly what i needed!

Is there any way you could add the private IP addresses assigned to the client in the webgui?

this is my biggest complaint.  i cant see the ip addresses that are assigned to each client.  and sometimes they change after rebooting a client

@cdenley:

This was a really easy modification, and something we can really use. Why isn't something like this already in PFSense?

$pgtitle = "Diagnostics: OpenVPN status";
require("guiconfig.inc");

function dump_ovpnstat($logfile) {
	$count=0;
	$header=true;
	$fh=@fopen($logfile,'r');
	if(!$fh)
		echo "status file not found
required custom option:
status $logfile";
	else {
		while(!feof($fh)) {
			$line=trim(fgets($fh,1024));
			$data = explode(",", $line);
			if(count($data)==5) {
				echo "\n";
				$class="lr";
				foreach($data as $val) {
					if($header)
						echo "" . htmlspecialchars($val) . "\n";
					else {
						$count++;
						echo "" . htmlspecialchars($val) . "\n";
					}
					$class="r";
				}
				echo "\n";
				$header=false;
			}
		}
		fclose($fh);
		if($count==0)
			echo "no connections";
	}
}

function mod_time($logfile) {
	$ret=false;
	$fh=@fopen($logfile,'r');
	if(!$fh)
		return false;
	fgets($fh,1024);
	$line=fgets($fh,1024);
	$data=explode(",",$line,2);
	if(count($data)>1 && $data[0]=='Updated')
		$ret=$data[1];
	fclose($fh);
	return $ret;
}

include("head.inc");

?>

$logfile='/var/log/openvpn-status.log';
$mtime=mod_time($logfile);
if($mtime)
	print '

updated '.htmlspecialchars($mtime).'

';
?>

The Dashboard widget doesn't work as well as I'd hoped, and I'm not sure that it ever really will on 1.2.x.

As for why such a thing hasn't been added to 1.2.x, it's probably considered too much of a "feature". Most of the changes in 1.2.3 were bug fixes, features that made their way in as a part of other bug fixes, or bits that were needed by commercial support customers.

I can try to work some of this OpenVPN status code into an add-on package though.

# cat /var/log/openvpn-status.log

The servers are all up I can ping hosts on the other side but they are all reporting down except for the first one.

Yep. You have no connections to list. I just updated my code in the first post so it displays "no connections" in that case.

Actually, my file doesn't look like that. Are you running an OpenVPN server or client?

I am running the openvpn site to site.

I dont think its running every minute.  I refreshed the page and it still shows the same time…
Did I add the status option to the correct location?
