It does, in the agent.conf. But you seemed to be having enough issues
with basic configuration that I didn't want to toss that into the mix
as well.
I personally (as in this is not the project's point of view) think
that configuration management systems like puppet or chef are an even
better place to handle these types of configurations.

That log is from the OpenVPN software, right? If so, that's a problem
with their logging.
As I've admitted, I'm not familiar with OpenVPN, so please excuse me
if this is a stupid question (I'm full of them). Does the "us=196958"
field and value relate to a particular session? If so, the accumulator
decoder feature might assist in making more sense of events that span
multiple log messages.

I'm sorry you see it that way. I don't find it particularly difficult,
and neither do the other 3 or 4 users.

Ha! Oh ok.

If you want better OpenVPN support you have a few options:
1. Step up and make it so.
2. Provide me with the information I'd need to do the work for your
company for free.
3. Hire someone to do the work.

If you don't, and are ready to move on, I wish you the best of luck in
your endeavors.
