monitoring of site to site tunnels

[mjsully]

how does one go about monitoring the individual ipsec tunnel status on a Cisco router? We have a router as our vpn gateway, and it has about 20 ipsec tunnels of it. It would be nice to be able to gather info for each connection. I don't know what my options are, I do know that I don't want to use any Ciscoworks related software to do it, though.

Hi .. perpahs you could try netflow analyzer. This will give you an idea of bandwith utilization per tunnel as you can configure a group based on Peer addresses. However you will not be able to look in to the applications been used as the traffic is encrypted.
