Useful logging for an external service

Post by bbatch1023 » Tue Oct 25, 2022 3:46 pm

I have one question:

When looking through OpenVPN logs on the actual box, what would be some useful info/terms I would find within those logs to see the following.

* Connector Offline
* High Subscription Usage
* Malicious activity (any info you think would show in the logs that would look malicious)

Hello bbatch1023,

That appears to be 3 questions... however, you mention 'Connector Offline' - this seems to be about OpenVPN Cloud. But you posted in Access Server forum. If this is indeed about Cloud I can move the topic over to that area instead.

Perhaps it might be better if you asked these questions directly on https://openvpn.net/support

Kind regards,

That's my mistake, I moved it.
Now moved to OpenVPN Cloud.
I gloomily came to the ironic conclusion that if you take a highly intelligent person and give them the best possible, elite education, then you will most likely wind up with an academic who is completely impervious to reality.

Thank you,

I just want to know what terms are seen through the logs when issues arise that relate to what I originally posted.

So, when those appear in the logs, our external software will notice that and alert us of those issues occurring.

Thank you,
