Remote access VPN session monitoring

Remote access VPN session monitoring is a Security Cloud Control Firewall Management capability that

  • provides secure connection monitoring for remote users, such as mobile users or telecommuters

  • enables you to determine quickly whether remote access VPN problems exist and where they exist, and

  • allows you to disconnect remote access VPN sessions as needed.

Remote access VPN monitoring capabilities

You can monitor remote access VPN sessions from ASA, FTDs managed using Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center, and FDM-managed devices.

The Remote Access Virtual Private Monitoring page provides this information:

  • A list of active and historical sessions for up to a year.

  • Shows intuitive graphical visuals to provide at-a-glance views from all active VPN headends managed by Security Cloud Control Firewall Management.

  • The live session screen shows the most used operating system and VPN connection profile in the Security Cloud Control Firewall Management tenant. It also shows the average session duration and data uploaded and downloaded.

    Note

    The data upload and download statistics won't include the data from FTDs managed using Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.

  • Filtering capabilities to narrow your search based on criteria such as device type, device names, session length, and the amount of data transmitted and received.

Note

The Data TX and Data RX information are not available for FTDs managed using Cloud-Delivered Firewall Management Center.
