+
+The OpenVPN plugin reads a status file maintained by OpenVPN and gathers
+traffic statistics about connected clients.
+
+To set up OpenVPN to write to the status file periodically, use the
+B<--status> option of OpenVPN. Since OpenVPN can write two different formats,
+you need to set the required format, too. This is done by setting
+B<--status-version> to B<2>.
+
+So, in a nutshell you need:
+
+  openvpn $OTHER_OPTIONS \
+    --status "/var/run/openvpn-status" 10 \
+    --status-version 2
+
+Available options:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<StatusFile> I<File>
+
+Specifies the location of the status file.
