Technical Tip: How to Identify the Connection Times for a User's Dial-Up IPSEC VPN Tunnel
| Description | This article explains how to check when a user is connected to the dial-up IPsec VPN tunnel. |
| Scope | FortiGate. |
| Solution | To check when a user last connected to the IPsec VPN: Log into the FortiGate GUI and navigate to Log & Report -> System Events -> VPN Events, select 'Configure Table' to add the columns 'Action' and 'XAUTH User', then filter the events with 'Action' set to 'tunnel-up' and 'XAUTH User' as the specific username.
This will display the connection times for that user's VPN connection.
If the user is still connected, it is possible to view how long they were connected for by adding a 'Created' column in the IPsec Monitor. For details, see Technical Tip: How to identify the uptime of an IPsec tunnel. |
