👩‍💻 Reviewed by RnD.
👍 Available as SmartConsole Extension.

One-liner (Bash) to show a summary about the remote access statistics of a VPN gateway.
Run in SmartConsole as one-time script or from your scripts repository or directly on your Gateway in expert mode:

echo; if [[ `if [[ $(cat /etc/cp-release) == *"Embed"* ]]; then grep 1 /opt/fw1/conf/active_blades.txt | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'; else enabled_blades 2>/dev/null; fi` != *'vpn'* ]]; then echo ' Not a VPN gateway!'; else echo ' REMOTE ACCESS VPN STATS - Current'; printf '%.s-' {1..70}; echo; function f { if [[ "$TERM" == "xterm" ]]; then fw tab -t $1 -s | tail -n1 | awk '{print "\033[0;32m"$4"\033[0m (Peak: "$5")"}'; else fw tab -t $1 -s | tail -n1 | awk '{print $4" (Peak: "$5")"}'; fi; }; function t { [ "$TERM" == "xterm" ] && tput bold; }; t; echo -n " Assigned OfficeMode IPs    : "; f "om_assigned_ips"; t; echo -n " Capsule/Endpoint VPN Users : "; echo `f "userc_users"` using Visitor Mode: `vpn show_tcpt 2>/dev/null | grep 'Visitor' | tail -n1 | awk '{print $NF}' | sed 's/Mode:/0/'`; t; echo -n " Capsule Workspace Users    : "; f "mob_mail_session"; if [[ `cat /etc/cp-release` != *"Embed"* ]]; then t; echo -n " MAB Portal Users           : "; f "cvpn_session"; fi; t; echo -n " L2TP Users                 : "; f "L2TP_tunnels"; t; echo -n " SNX Users                  : "; f "sslt_om_ip_params"; echo; echo ' LICENSES'; printf '%.s-' {1..70}; t; echo; function s { awk '{ sum += $1 } END { print sum }'; }; function u { echo Unlimited; }; l=`cplic print -p 2>/dev/null | awk --re-interval 'BEGIN{today="date +%s"; today | getline today; } $1 ~ /([1-9][0-9]*\.?){4}/ {if ($2 != "never") {expdate=$2; cmd="date -d " expdate " +%s"; cmd | getline expdate; if (expdate>today) {print} } else {print}}' | tr ' ' '\n'`; echo -n ' SecuRemote Users           : '; if [[ "$l" == *'srunlimited'* ]]; then u; else echo "$l" | grep fw1:6.0:sr | cut -c 11- | s; fi; echo -n ' Endpoint Connect Users     : '; grep -a sc_users $FWDIR/database/fwauth.NDB | tr -dc '[:digit:]\n' | awk '{print $1/5}' | echo $(cat); echo -n ' Mobile Access Users        : '; if [[ "$l" == *'cvpnunlimited'* ]]; then u; else echo "$l" | grep cvpn:6.0:cvpn | cut -c 14- | tr -d 'user' | s; fi; echo -n ' SNX Users                  : '; if [[ "$l" == *'nxunlimit'* ]]; then u; else echo "$l" | grep fw1:6.0:nx | cut -c 11- | s; fi; [ "$TERM" == "xterm" ] && tput sgr0; unset l; fi; echo

This One-liner is also integrated with our ccc script.

Thanks to @PhoneBoy for license macro information in this thread. [ VPN License Guide ]
Thanks to @HristoGrigorov for SMB support and testing.
Thanks to CheckMates for these Remote Access SmartEvent Reports: Basic, Enhanced, Application Monitoring, Custom User Stats

@Danny 

great job. I love these oneliners.

Wolfgang

[Alexey_Klichins]

great , I was looking for it.

 The statistics match for   the last hour/day/week ?

[PhoneBoy]

These are live statistics from the gateway.
For historical data, you need reports like: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Remote-Access-Solutions/Monitoring-applications-and-data-volume-...
Or: https://community.checkpoint.com/t5/Visibility-Analytics/SmartView-VPN-Client-enhanced-view/m-p/7887...

[NSS_Fujitsu_Ser]

I can understand that the current number is the live stat from the gateway at the point in time of running the one liner but what about the peak number? - that must be historical, surely?  Over what historical period?

[Danny]

The peak number is always counted since last reboot of the system.

[Victor_MR]

Very good! Thanks for sharing.

[Danny]

👍

[Wolfgang]

@Danny 

running in export mode is fine, but from Smartconsole repository some small formatting errors are seen.

Maybee you can find the problem.

Wolfgang 

[Danny]

Thanks @Wolfgang, I fixed it.

[Bechor]

It will show also Capsule Workspace connected Users?

Capsule Workspace it part of MAB Portal Users count?

[Danny]

Hi @Bechor, I've just included stats for Capsule Workspace users as well. ✔️

[Bechor]

That's great!
Thank you!

Hi Danny, thank you for the great one-liner script!

It's certainly helping a lot.

Quick feedback on when running Gateways CG IaaS (VE), the outcome is "Not a firewall gateway!".

We had to bypassed it by getting rid of the first "if" of the script.

[Danny]

Thanks for the enabled_blades tip, @Eduardo_Pereira, I just improved the One-liner to check the VPN blade.

[PatrikSkoglund]

Quality one-liners as always!

[Danny]

Thanks @PatrikSkoglund! 😃

[Saagarg007]

Great script for quick stats,

so are they full day stats? or current stats?

[Danny]

Thanks for the tip. I'll add the word 'current' to the title. The peak score is an overall status since last reboot of the system.

[Pedro_Domingo_P]

Hi :

Thank you very much for your work 

I have spent tons of hours trying to do the same thing

In my script I have used the following kernel table to obtain SNX users:

1. SNX users ---> fw tab -t sslt_connectra_sessions -s

I have counted the lines with SNX users on the smartview monitor users table, and with this number I could find the "correct" kernel table 

If I use your script,  the number shown is different from the number that you can obtain from   the kernel table shown above.

What are the differences between your number,  my number and the number of users listed on the smartview monitor table?

I think your result is correct (you are a checkpoint expert) , but the number is different from the number of snx users you can see (and count, line by line) on the  smartview monitor users table.

Thanks in advanced for your answer

PD: Sorry about my bad english 

[Emanuel_Miut]

Great job! Thx for very useful one liner.

[Danny]

I'm glad you like it. 🙂

[Eduardo_Pereira]

Hey @Danny,

This is a one-liner that I did for a client few days ago to monitor VPN clients and the performance of the appliance. It was a huge appliance with thousands of users.

It help to find any heavy connections and monitor the connected users real time.

Have you ever wrote something to find/monitor heavy connections/elephant flows? (VPN or not related).

Script:

watch -n 0.1 "echo ' CPU UTILIZATION'; printf '%.s-' {1..100}; echo;echo;mpstat -P ALL 1 1 | grep -v Average;echo;echo;echo;echo ' ENABLED BLADES'; printf '%.s-' {1..100};echo;enabled_blades;echo;echo;echo ' LAST INSTALLED POLICY'; printf '%.s-' {1..100};echo; fw stat | grep -o '.\{0,5\}2020.\{0,10\}';echo;echo;echo ' NUMBER OF CONNECTED USERS'; printf '%.s-' {1..100};echo;fw tab -t userc_users -s | grep userc_users | awk '{print \$4}';echo;echo ' NUMBER OF OFFICE MODE IPs'; printf '%.s-' {1..100};echo;fw tab -t om_assigned_ips -s | grep om_assigned_ips | awk '{print \$4}';echo;echo ' SHOW HEAVY CONNECTIONS'; printf '%.s-' {1..100}; echo;echo;fw ctl multik print_heavy_conn;echo;"

Attached a printscreen of the outcome as well.

[Danny]

Thanks for sharing your code with us. 😀 I haven't yet created a solution to identify top VPN remote users.

It's impressive to see what we can bring up together while working from home focusing on getting home workers connected and protected maintaining their businesses during COVID-19.

[Eduardo_Pereira]

True that! 😉

Let me know if you ever get inspiried to code such thing! 😉

Thank you!

[Danny]

Will do! 😉

[Cristian_F_CCSM]

Super thank you.
This is a super mega command, very useful.
Thanks again

[Danny]

I'm glad it's useful to you. This one-liner also got reviewed by R&D today as Check Point SE's now use it, too. 👩‍💻

The command is great!! I have one question: What is the difference between MAB Portal Users and SNX Users?

My case:

REMOTE ACCESS VPN STATS - Current
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Assigned OfficeMode IPs : 1499 (Peak: 1692)
Capsule/Endpoint VPN Users : 1447 (Peak: 1501) using Visitor Mode: 60
Capsule Workspace Users : 0 (Peak: 0)
MAB Portal Users : 141 (Peak: 232)
L2TP Users : 0 (Peak: 0)
SNX Users : 122 (Peak: 198)

Regards

[AndreiR]

A user may login to MAB portal but not connect SNX. In this case he will be counted as MAB user and will not be counted as SNX user.
