Hi,

I try to find a way to check openvpn when the vpn service use udp mode.

I don't find a good solution with some searchs, it seems we can use "check_udp" but I don't find the right command and which information we can retrieve.

Many thanks for any help or tricks.

Ok, I found the solution, I need just to enable the management interface on openvpn config ("management <ip> <port> <password file>" on config file) and after that, I can use the nagios scripts we can found on nagios exchange like check_openvpn.pl.

Hope it helps someone
