Log Questions

On my server, is there a way to track logs more advanced?

I need to see at what time / which client connected / how much bandwidth used?

Is anything like that possible?

Also on my clients machine (windows), I execute OpenVPN via command line and then hide the command line window, if the connection has an issue, it does not generate a log in C:\Program Files\OpenVPN\logs as the normal OpenVPN GUI would.

Is there a way to make clients connected from windows command line openvpn still have logs?

Thank you

Use --log or --log-append options.

"verb 3" is enought to track client connect and disconnect time. For the bandwith - the clients are sharing the common bandwith so if one client is connected, then the full bandwith is used.
