Openvpn Access Server Status File

[derekleegh]

Hi, can you guide which Openvpn access server logs are you accepting ?

I only have logs for /var/log/openvpnas.log

Is that log acceptable?

[chench00]

I have the same issue. No status file but only /var/log/openvpnas.log.

@chench00 I think this only supports the openvpn community edition not the one with access server.

@guohaolee That's a bummer. Really wanted to use this.

[derekleegh]

@chench00 gotta create your own :)

[chench00]

@guohaolee Are you also using OpenVPN AS?

[derekleegh]

@chench00 yes the one from https://openvpn.net/access-server/
Using it on company

@junior466 nah I didn't have time to build the dashboard for now.

Hi friend, how are you?

So, you need to configure the openvpn file (server.conf, for example) and add the parameter status-version and status. As mentioned below:

status-version 2

status openvpn-status.log

After editing, save the file and restart the openvpn process.

If you use the parameters in the same way as I mentioned before, the file will be saved in the same path as the editor file previously. This way, you just need to mention the full path to the export binary (/etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log, for example).

openvpn_exporter -openvpn.status_paths /etc/openvpn/openvpn-status.log

After that, just have fun! 💯

@jeffersonlmartins It doesn't look like this is supported by Access Server.

Access server has a as.conf file which is where the configuration goes, but uses an SQLlite/ external database to store the actual status and logs.
