VPN Monitoring

How do I go about monitoring the current connections on an ASA?

Withe the "billy bad-a**" Universal Device Poller!  It's sweet.  Your Orion has to have SNMP access to the ASA.

Thanks that helps.  Did you create the defined poller or did you download it from somewhere?

Did anybody ever reply as to where you get that defined poller?  Is it something you download and then import into the Universal Device Poller?

Thanks!

 Hey, John, if you created that one, it would be fairly slick if you could post it to the Content Sharing Zone.

Defining is the first step in creating a Universal Device Poller. If you already know the OID that you want to poll, provide it in the OID field, and then the Name and Description fields will auto‑fill. If you do not know the OID you want to poll, click Browse MIB Tree, and then either walk or search the MIB tree to find the OID you want to poll.

More detailed steps for each field option can be found here http://www.solarwinds.com/NetPerfMon/SolarWinds/OrionPHUniversalDevicePollerDefine.htm 

There is a custom poller under content sharing/custom poller/vpn.  I used that and was able to retrieve the number of vpn connections.  I would really like to pull more vpn information, like peer address or username.  I am still looking on how to create those.

Well I'm in a Love/Hate relationship with the Universal Device Poller, but I'll upload that one :)

Here it is:

John,

What's to hate?  Let us know how we can make that thing better, if you have ideas...
