An overview of Auvik’s VPN monitoring tool capabilities
Managing VPN infrastructure effectively requires visibility into session usage, performance metrics, and capacity planning across your entire network. Here’s how Auvik’s VPN monitoring software addresses some of the scenarios you may encounter when supporting remote access and site-to-site VPN infrastructure.
Respond quickly to VPN issues with automated alerts
VPN failures have an uncanny ability to strike at the worst possible moments, disrupting operations Whether its critical connectivity to a remote location, or your remote workforce needing reliable access to critical business systems, Auvik’s VPN monitoring software triggers pre-configured alerts like “SSL VPN sessions reached maximum capacity” and “VPN remote gateway lost,” delivering immediate notifications when performance thresholds breach or connectivity issues arise.
Each alert includes device-specific details such as hostname and serial number, along with actionable troubleshooting steps like verifying license availability or checking gateway configurations. However, you’re not limited to default settings — you can customize trigger thresholds and clear conditions to match your operational tolerances. Considering that network environments change constantly, automated device discovery continuously monitors new firewalls as they’re added to your network, while pre-configured capacity alerts enable you to scale VPN resources proactively before bottlenecks impact users.

Troubleshoot VPN performance issues faster and more accurately
VPN performance complaints can turn troubleshooting into a time-consuming guessing game, forcing you to check device performance, network congestion, and tunnel configurations across multiple systems before identifying the actual culprit. However, Auvik’s site-to-site VPN monitoring cuts through this complexity with granular visibility into tunnel statistics measured in both packets and bytes via its firewall tunnels dashboard, displaying Phase 1 and Phase 2 tunnel names, local and remote gateway addresses, and associated IP ranges.
You can analyze real-time packet loss and throughput metrics by switching between packet-count and byte-count views directly in the interface. Our VPN tunnel monitoring tool tracks tunnel status changes and triggers “VPN remote gateway is lost” alerts when connectivity drops, enabling you to rapidly isolate gateway-specific issues from broader network problems. In addition, our tunnel monitoring software retains 90 days of historical tunnel performance data, letting you compare current behavior against established baselines to distinguish temporary network glitches from systemic capacity issues.

Monitor and manage VPN session usage across distributed sites
Running out of VPN licenses during peak hours can halt your remote workforce by locking employees out of critical applications. Auvik’s VPN monitoring software automatically discovers and tracks SSL VPN sessions across multiple firewall vendors — including Cisco ASA, SonicWall, Palo Alto, Fortinet, WatchGuard, and more — across distributed sites. It displays real-time session metrics such as current sessions in use, maximum available licenses, and usage percentages on a centralized dashboard, consolidating data from all locations for unified visibility.
The platform also maintains detailed historical usage graphs over any timeframe and provides four pre-configured alerts that notify you as session usage approaches critical thresholds. Supported protocols like SNMP and device APIs ensure your VPN session data stays current without manual collection, helping you proactively manage VPN capacity and avoid license shortages before they impact your workforce.

Reduce time spent on manual VPN data collection
Manually gathering VPN session data from dozens of firewalls can consume entire afternoons that could be better spent on strategic projects and proactive network improvements. That’s precisely why Auvik’s VPN monitoring software eliminates this time drain by automatically discovering and monitoring VPN sessions across supported devices with minimal initial configuration, pulling data directly from network devices through protocols like SNMP and API integrations.
Since automation is key to efficiency, our platform automatically generates comprehensive KPIs and graphs for VPN session monitoring across Cisco ASA, SonicWall, Fortinet, and other major vendors. You can access centralized VPN data across compatible firewalls through a single interface, dramatically reducing the hours you typically spend collecting information from disparate management systems.

What is VPN monitoring?
VPN monitoring is the continuous tracking of virtual private network performance, capacity, and connectivity to ensure reliable remote access for users. It helps IT teams proactively address session usage, tunnel performance, and capacity limits before connectivity issues impact productivity.
Can Auvik monitor VPN sessions across multiple firewall vendors?
Auvik automatically discovers and monitors SSL VPN sessions across multiple firewall vendors, including Cisco ASA 55xx, SonicWall TZ series, and SonicWall NSA series. For site-to-site monitoring, our platform supports IPsec across Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Watchguard, and SonicWALL devices through a single centralized interface.
Does Auvik provide alerts for VPN session limits?
Auvik provides four pre-configured alerts that automatically notify you when VPN session usage approaches critical thresholds, including when sessions max out or available capacity runs low. You can also customize trigger thresholds and clear conditions to match your specific operational requirements.
Can Auvik help IT teams prevent VPN downtime?
Auvik prevents VPN downtime through proactive monitoring and real-time alerting that identifies capacity and performance issues before they impact users. This approach allows you to address problems before they result in user complaints or business disruption.
How does Auvik collect VPN session data?
Auvik automatically collects VPN session data through supported network protocols like SNMP and device API integrations without requiring manual configuration. Our platform generates comprehensive KPIs and graphs while continuously monitoring sessions as they’re enabled on compatible firewalls.
Can Auvik monitor different types of VPNs (SSL VPN, IPSec, etc.)?
Auvik supports monitoring for both SSL VPN and IPsec technologies across multiple firewall vendors. Our platform monitors SSL VPN session usage and capacity on devices like Cisco ASA and SonicWall firewalls, plus IPsec tunnel statistics across Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, and other major vendors.
