To set up OpenVPN to write to the status file periodically, use the
-B<--status> option of OpenVPN. Since OpenVPN can write two different formats,
-you need to set the required format, too. This is done by setting
-B<--status-version> to B<2>.
+B<--status> option of OpenVPN.
So, in a nutshell you need:
openvpn $OTHER_OPTIONS \
- --status "/var/run/openvpn-status" 10 \
- --status-version 2
+ --status "/var/run/openvpn-status" 10
Available options:
When the C<rrdtool> plugin uses a cache (by setting B<CacheTimeout>, see below)
it writes all values for a certain RRD-file if the oldest value is older than
-(or equal to) the number of seconds specified. If some RRD-file is not updated
+(or equal to) the number of seconds specified by B<CacheTimeout>.
+That check happens on new values arriwal. If some RRD-file is not updated
anymore for some reason (the computer was shut down, the network is broken,
-etc.) some values may still be in the cache. If B<CacheFlush> is set, then the
-entire cache is searched for entries older than B<CacheTimeout> seconds and
-written to disk every I<Seconds> seconds. Since this is kind of expensive and
-does nothing under normal circumstances, this value should not be too small.
-900 seconds might be a good value, though setting this to 7200 seconds doesn't
-normally do much harm either.
+etc.) some values may still be in the cache. If B<CacheFlush> is set, then
+every I<Seconds> seconds the entire cache is searched for entries older than
+B<CacheTimeout> + B<RandomTimeout> seconds. The entries found are written to

+under normal circumstances, this value should not be too small. 900 seconds
