Hello,

I am running USG20-VPN on Nebula plattform.
The organisation where firewall is registered does have Nebula Pro enabled.

The feature that I can't find is the session monitor available on for example USG40 which I have on separate site.

How do I access session monitor(or equvivalent of it) on a Nebula enabled firewall.

I assume that feature has to be somewhere or accessible somehow.

Kind regards.

    The USG40 does not support Nebula it is part of a old line that never had the option.

    You must have misinterpreted my question.

    I want to access session monitor or an equvivalent feature on Nebula enabled firewall.
    I only gave USG 40 as an example of what am I looking for.

    USG 40 is EOL and not compatible with Nebula and that is a known fact.

    I see what you mean now...well I guess they didn't add it like many things the local vs Nebula feature set is not 1:1

    So if you need Session monitor you have to use local stand-alone.

    Or you can use Remote SSH by Nebula to view Active Session

    While one can use Nebula Remote SSH to do this(even if the output is ugly and needs to be cleaned up) I would prefer to have this in Nebula especially if there is an active Pro licence.One of the main functions of a firewall is the active session monitor @Zyxel_Melen @Zyxel_Stanley @Zyxel_Ivan any comment on the matter?
    Are there any plans to develop this feature natively in Nebula?

    Hi @dukisha016,

    To better understand your requirement, could you please confirm whether you're looking for:

    • The active session number (as displayed in Nebula)? image.png
    • Or the Session Monitor page under Monitor > Traffic Statistics in the local GUI? image.png
