OpenVPN-Monitor is a simple python program to generate html that displays the status of an OpenVPN server, including all current connections. It uses the OpenVPN management console. It typically runs on the same host as the OpenVPN server, however it does not necessarily need to.
The current source code is available on github:

# apt-get install gcc libgeoip-dev python-virtualenv python-dev geoip-database-extra # (debian/ubuntu)
# yum install gcc geoip-devel python-virtualenv python-devel GeoIP-data GeoIP-update # (centos)

systemctl restart httpdcd /var/www/html
git clone https://github.com/furlongm/openvpn-monitor.gitAdd the following line to your OpenVPN server configuration to run the management console on 127.0.0.1 port 5555:
management 127.0.0.1 5555
Refer to the OpenVPN documentation for further information on how to secure access to the management interface.
The example configuration file /var/www/html/openvpn-monitor/openvpn-monitor.conf
should give some indication of how to set site name, add a logo, etc. You can
also set a default location (latitude and longitude) for the embedded maps.
If not set, the default location is Melbourne, Australia.
Edit /var/www/html/openvpn-monitor/openvpn-monitor.conf to match your site.
You should now be able to navigate to http://myipaddress/openvpn-monitor/
Note the trailing slash, the images may not appear without it.
OpenVPN-Monitor can be run from the command line in order to test if the html generates correctly:
cd /var/www/html/openvpn-monitor
python openvpn-monitor.pyFurther debugging can be enabled by specifying the --debug flag:
cd /var/www/html/openvpn-monitor
