central vpn monitoring tools

do you know any good vpn monitoring tools? what i want to do is, manage the different vpns for my clients?

What exactly is it you want to monitor? Whether the tunnels are up? How much traffic passes? Remote or local? Which VPN device(s) and clients are in use?
The generic answer is "you can't do that", the more involved "it depends".

Objecting.
Pinging WAN iPs is no monitoring of VPN tunnels.andi cannot see why the comment by Kimberley is related.
If you really want to live with that primitive "test" of ping, that is the only comment to accept. But If I were you, I would follow Kimberley's suggestion to use Paessler tools.

Um, do you mean mwauki here?

Yes, the PRTG sensors will give you much more information that just pinging.

Qlemo

Sorry, Kimberley, for being unclear. The objection is directed at mwauki; using "ping" and accepting your comment does not fit together.
