Hello! Thank you for your work. Sorry, please tell me, is it possible to implement in pritunl the functionality of storing user statuses and traffic in a file, as is done in OpenVPN, using the option “status /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log”?

The server configuration, which is stored in Mongo, has the following parameter: status: ‘online’. How does this work? Can this be fixed? Instead I tried writing the file path. Doesn’t work.

There is no option for a status file, the [**plugin system**](https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/plugins) and [**auditing system**](https://docs.pritunl.com/docs/auditing) can be used to monitor user connections.
