VPN Access and Tunnel Health Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

VPN failures and stale remote access are found only when users complain. This agent tests site-to-site tunnels, reads remote user connection failures, and compares the list of VPN users with HR data. It flags dead tunnels and accounts for people who left or changed roles. It retests tunnels after a fix to confirm they come up. The administrator approves access removal. It writes a short report that shows each tunnel's status, the failed logins by user and the accounts proposed for removal, so you can act on it in a few minutes. It also keeps a history, so a tunnel that fails again and again is raised as a pattern. Edge case: a tunnel is down only at night, so the agent checks the provider's maintenance schedule before raising an incident.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A tunnel is unhealthy when it fails the test twice in a row. Access is stale when the person has left or has not used VPN for the set time.

  • Treat two failed tests in a row as a failure
  • Check maintenance schedules before raising an incident
  • Flag accounts of leavers immediately
  • Flag accounts unused for 90 days

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Unused days before flagging (default: 90)
  • Test frequency
  • Provider maintenance sources
  • Who approves removals

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Administrator approves access removal

Hard limits

  • Never disables accounts without approval
  • Never changes tunnel configs on its own

It stops when

  • Done: tunnels are healthy and stale access is handled
  • Stop: the HR list is not available

An example run

What happensA tunnel to the Phoenix branch failed two tests at 1 am. The agent found a provider maintenance window and retested at 3 am, when it passed. The monthly review found 14 VPN accounts for leavers and 9 unused for 90 days. After the administrator approved removing 20 of them, the recheck confirmed all 20 disabled.
