OpenVPN Status

openvpn-status is a Python library. It parses OpenVPN status log and turns it into Python data structure for you.

It is compatible with CPython 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 and PyPy.

Installation

.. code-block:: bash

pip install openvpn-status

Don't forget to put it in setup.py / requirements.txt.

Getting Started

You could configure your OpenVPN server to log for client status. In usual it could be achieved by adding status /path/to/openvpn-status.log line to /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf. For example::

proto udp
port 1194
dev tun0
status /var/run/openvpn-status.log

Once OpenVPN server running, the log file will be created and written. It looks like::

OpenVPN CLIENT LIST

[email protected],10.10.10.10:49502,334948,1973012,Thu Jun 18 04:23:03 2015

192.168.255.126,[email protected],10.10.10.10:64169,Thu Jun 18 08:11:55 2015
GLOBAL STATS
Max bcast/mcast queue length,0
END

Now we could parse log file with this library:

.. code-block:: python

from openvpn_status import parse_status

with open('/var/run/openvpn-status.log') as logfile:
    status = parse_status(logfile.read())

print(status.updated_at)  # datetime.datetime(2015, 6, 18, 8, 12, 15)

foo_client = status.client_list['169.254.0.1']
print(foo_client.common_name)  # [email protected]
print(foo_client.bytes_received)  # 334.9 kB
print(foo_client.bytes_sent)  # 2.0 MB
print(int(foo_client.bytes_sent))  # 2097152
