Where are the logs for OpenVPN stored?

[tep47]

I'd like to know where the logs (if any) are stored for OpenVPN on the hda server. I want to see information about who is connecting from where. Thanks.

i think it puts info messages in two places:

Code: Select all

/var/log/openvpn-status.log

and

Code: Select all

/var/log/messages

not exactly who and from where, but if you find a place where it's clean (or a script/program/tool to show it), it would be good to incorporate that to show it in the setup area!

Thanks for the hints cpg. I found this command worked reasonably well to figure out who authenticated when, and from where:
cat /var/log/messages | grep vpn | grep authentication | grep Username

There might be a more savvy way to do it using regular expressions, but that worked for me. Also, I'm not sure if that catches any authentication failures.
