Description

Hello, is it possible to add a metric that lists all the logged in users ? And possibly how long they have been on (I suppose that can be calculated somehow?) Does the API support this? Thanks.

Cheers,

ASD.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Fortigate API documentation to see if it provides an endpoint listing active VPN users with session durations, then implement a new metric collector in the exporter.
