# VPN connections monitoring

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are a secure technology that allows connection between Digibee clusters and customer environments. Without proper monitoring, failures or degradations in VPN connections may go unnoticed, leading to service disruptions.

In this article, you will learn how to monitor your VPN connections to ensure that tunnels and mappings are functional, and how to view data traffic in the tunnels.

## How to monitor your VPN connections

Follow the steps below to learn how to monitor your VPN connections on the Digibee Integration Platform.

### Visualize your VPN connections

1. On the Platform’s home page, click **Monitor.**
2. On the Monitor page, click the **VPN Connectivity** tab at the top menu.
3. The page displays an interactive graph of your VPN tunnels and mappings, along with a table of all VPN connections.

#### Graph

The VPN connections graph shows the status of your tunnels and mappings during a specific time period. You can select the desired period to analyze the ups and downs of your VPN tunnels. Options are:

* 1 hour
* 6 hours
* 1 day
* Specific time span

To see the exact number of ups and downs, hover over the graphs.

#### Table

The VPN connections table shows the list of VPN tunnels and mappings, each one with its respective category columns.

**Tunnels**

* Connection Tunnel
* Traffic (bytes)
* Status

**Mappings**

* IP Client (Forwarding)
* IP Digibee (Listen)
* Type
* Host
* Status

### Configure your connections

At the top right of the page, you will find the **Request config changes** button. Click it to open a chat request with the Digibee Support team to change your VPN configuration.
