Pull data about remote access users

khanasim781 — Wed, 24 Jan 2024 13:28:42 GMT

Hi I'd like to be able to pull data about the number of connected remote access VPN users from Umbrella and then put it in a graph on zabbix.

Is this possible?

Should be possible you could use either REST or a Python script to retrieve the relevant data points, such as the number of active VPN users, by querying specific endpoints from the Umbrella API - API Documentation: https://support.umbrella.com/hc/en-us/articles/15142922643732-Umbrella-API-Quick-Start-Guide

Then define a custom item in Zabbix for the extracted data point, such as "Active VPN Users". Specify the key used to identify the data (e.g., a JSON path for API response or a parsed log field) and the update interval for fetching the data.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I'm having trouble at the first hurdle in finding the API endpoint that would this info. I would have expected it to be "Deployment" but I can't see anything referencing remote access.

I would have thought you might find this in the insights?

No, it doesn't look like this data is available yet from the API
