Monitoring VPN tunnel by email

peterpan13888 — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 14:46:21 GMT

Hi all,

Is there an effective way to send an email alert if a VPN tunnel is down? I checked several places in the web admin UI but could not find a good way to configure it.

Thanks!

Hello peterpan13888

We have email means of notification configurable based on the severity of the system logs.

So lets say if the "Vpn tunnel down" is of severity HIGH you can set on the PAN for all HIGH to be emailed. But we do not have a custom mechanism to send a email only for certain logs like vpn was down in this case.

Thanks

Adding to what Phoenix said you can also send the logs to the syslog server and if there is a way in syslog you can have your self alerted from there.
