Monitor vpn connections in icinga web2

Icinga 2

Hi! Does anyone by any chance know how to monitor the hosts connected by vpn on the icinga web 2 dashboard?

I don’t regard hosts on VPNs as anything special - it’s just another way of
routing between machines - same as anything behind NAT, for example, which may
not be directly accessible, but is indirectly (or at least in the other
direction, which is good enough for Icinga).

You just need to make sure that something on one end of the VPN can monitor
the things on the other end of the VPN - a hierarchical Master - Satellite -
Agent configuration often works well here.

If you still have questions, please explain your routing / network / VPN setup
sufficiently for us to understand which machines can (and cannot) talk to which
others, and where you have Icinga installed (or in principle could install).

Antony.

hi Antony

what about VPN monitoring of services on a Cisco Fire Power appliance…

is it better to monitor via internal cisco mechanism for VPN Services…

or can it be monitored by icinga2 from the internal interface ( trusted zone ) of the appliance

Requirements: Can icinga2 monitor/alert when VPN services on a Cisco Fire Power is offline and no longer accessible to remote workers

Thanking in advance…

Regards
