For OpenVPN, you need to enable the status file, look for --status in this
document:
https://openvpn.net/community-resources/reference-manual-for-openvpn-2-4/
Create a topology using the receive strategy, copy the suggested POST URL.
Then create a script that gets the status file and sends it in post to the
POST URL you copied before.
The script looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
COLLECTOR_URL="{{ openwisp2_management_topology_url }}"
DATA=$(cat "{{ openwisp2_management_openvpn_status_log }}")
curl -s -X POST -d "$DATA" --header "Content-Type: text/plain"
$COLLECTOR_URL
_ret=$?
echo ''
exit $_ret
