Whilst I am not a fan of Juniper Network Connect in the last few
years I have had to connect to several networks that use
it. The biggest problem with it is that it is a combination

things I have learnt from web postings about getting it to work

At the weekend I completed a new nagios / icinga plugin. The check_juniper_srx_ipsec_tunnel.pl plugin checks via SNMP the IPSec VPN / Tunnel State for a given VPN Gateway on a Juniper SRX gateway.
Usage: ./check_juniper_srx_ipsec_tunnel.pl -H <Juniper Hostname> -g <IPSec Tunnel Gateway> -C <SNMP Community>
You will find the plugin on my projects page
