Monitor Remote Access Virtual Private Network Sessions

Remote access Virtual Private Network provides secure connections for remote users, such as mobile users or telecommuters. Monitoring these connections provides important indicators of connection and user session performance at a glance. CDO remote access VPN monitoring capabilities enable you to determine quickly whether remote access VPN problems exist and where they exist. You can then apply this knowledge and use your network management tools to reduce or eliminate problems for your network and users. You can also disconnect remote access VPN sessions as needed.

You can monitor remote access VPN sessions from ASA, FTDs managed using cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center, and FDM-managed devices.

The Remote Access Virtual Private Monitoring page provides the following information:

  • A list of active and historical sessions for up to a year.

  • Shows intuitive graphical visuals to provide at-a-glance views from all active VPN headends managed by CDO.

  • The live session screen shows the most used operating system and VPN connection profile in the CDO tenant. It also shows the average session duration and data uploaded and downloaded.

    Note

    The data upload and download statistics won't include the data from FTDs managed using cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center.

  • Filtering capabilities to narrow your search based on criteria such as device type, device names, session length, and the amount of data transmitted and received.

Note

The Data TX and Data RX information are not available for FTDs managed using cloud-delivered Firewall Management Center.
