Hi,
Has anyone successfully monitored the availability of an IPSEC VPN service using PRTG?
I use Windows Server RRAS for VPN, and would like to monitor the availability of the service from the end user perspective, not the windows service.
Ideally the sensor would test creation of a VPN with preassigned credentials, I understand this might be quite difficult due to the virtual interfaces that are generally created during VPN tunnel creation, but hoping someone has a way of performing a test.
Thanks

The best and likely only way you would be able to do this would be to create a custom EXE sensor with an EXE that could setup the connection and return in a PRTG friendly format if it was successful or not. You could then have PRTG run the EXE every 10 min or so and then return the status for a sensor that you could use for notifications etc. You can read more about the XML format that PRTG can read under Setup->PRTG API.
