Hello,

What are you attempting to monitor, like up down status?

No thats the easy part knowing if it is up or down, just watch the green balls LOL. I guess I was hoping to see something in the traffic logs but technically I probably have an encrypted tunnel that by passes all that and come right into the network.  Guess I am checking to make sure that is normal and I have it set up correctly

Hello,

If your PAN is the ipsec endpoint, then it will see the decrypted traffic. What I do is alwyas have the tunnel a different zone so I can create policies around the traffic. Also I can watch the traffic by selecting the source and destination zones.

I created a rule to let the traffic in but when I search by the rule it shows no traffic passing on it so to speak though it is clearly being hit.  I don't use panorama at all if that is why you are referring to as PAN

Try searching by a known IP address on the tunnel as the source and see which policy it is hitting.

Nothing

Maybe as destiantion and ping it so you can see traffic? Perhaps there is no traffic going over it (long shot I know).
