Number of connections over a period of time for Anyconnect

[sandevsingh]

Hi, experts

I am looking for a way to get the number of Anyconnect VPN connections over a month on the ASA.

Is this possible to get somewhere? 

I know you can get the active connections at that point of time when you run the show vpn session-db , but am curious how to get the stats from the past month or week?

thnx

Hi

The only way i know to do that is using your syslog server. The report can be done easily with ELK or Splunk

The goal is to log the information from asa to your syslog server.
Here a post talking about logs that need to be activated:

Francesco is correct. you can only get that via reviewing the ASA statistics externally.

Parsing your syslog is one way, SNMP queries collated over time is another. For instance, PRTG free edition can do this for you using SNMP.
