<br>
you can get the number of active IKE SAs via<br>
<br>
swanctl --list-sas | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l<br>
<br>
if you are using the vici interface or<br>
<br>
ipsec statusall | grep ESTABLISHED | wc -l<br>
<br>
if you are using the legacy whack interface.<br>
<br>
For the total number of active CHILD SAs replace ESTABLISHED<br>
by INSTALLED in the grep query.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
