VPN-Monitoring

[Lange, Brian]

Im not sure of your configuration/hardware for the VPN's but in my scenario, I use a simple ping command to the ip address of the remote VPN tunnel interface, if the tunnel is down the remote IP address is unreachable and therefore Nagios sends out alerts.  My remote VPN's are all IOS VPN's with Cisco 1721 Routers.  You cannot check these tunnels via the Tunnel Interface on the Router since it will technically not ever go to a down state on the router itself.  Also, I am not sure if there is a better way to do this, but for now it seems to be working for me.
