OpenVPN User Details Test

In secure environments where users connect to the target IP network through the OpenVPN Access server, administrators may want to figure out the duration of the time a user has spent over the network accessing the network resources. Similarly, administrators may also want to monitor the data transmission for each user through the server so that they can figure out the user who has hogged the bandwidth limit of the network while transmitting/receiving the maximum amount of data. This is where the OpenVPN User Details test helps! For each user accessing the OpenVPN Access server, this test monitors the data transmitted and received by the user while accessing the resources of the network through the OpenVPN Access server and the time duration for which the user was active on the network. This way, administrators can figure out the user who has been very active over a period of time!

Target of the test : An OpenVPN Access Server

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each user of the OpenVPN Access server that is to be monitored.

Configurable parameters for the test

Parameter	Description
Test period	How often should the test be executed.
Host	The host for which the test is to be configured.
Port	The port number at which the specified Host listens to. By default, this is NULL.

Measurements made by the test

Measurement	Description	Measurement Unit	Interpretation
Data transmitted	Indicates the amount of data transmitted by this user.	KB	Comparing the value of these measures across the users helps you in identifying the VPN user who is hogging the bandwidth of the network by transmitting/receiving the maximum amount of data.
Data received	Indicates the amount of data received by this user.	KB
Active session duration	Indicates the time duration for which this user was active.	Mins	Comparing the value of this measure across the users reveals the most active user on the server.
