Chapter 7. Logging of connection
data
General
With this option, the following information is logged in a server-based MySQL database for each
VPN connection:
• Time of connection set-up and termination
• Account name
• Service network name
• Allocated VPN IP
• Global IP of client
• User comment
• Data sent and received during connection
Caution
Since the VPN connection as default uses the stateless UDP transport protocol, the
Server cannot clearly identify when a connection has been terminated. This means
that the Keep-Alive-Intervall * the number of unsuccessful pings has to be subtracted
from the logged termination time in order to determine the minimum connection time.
Show logged connection data
Data can be retrieved via the menu items Status-Logs->Events. Select the VPN service and set the
date filter.
In addition to viewing data, you can also download data in different formats. This may be done
programme or script-controlled. For more information, see chapter the section called “Read out log
database ”
Read out log database
The Server provides an HTTP-interface for read out of raw data. Data can then be automatically read
out and evaluated. The following formats are available:
• XML
• JSON
• CSV
Access is via URL
Example 7.1. Syntax URL VPN-Log
