Question:

What is ngmonitor.exe and what is it's function?

Answer/Article:

ngmonitor.exe is process on the user machine that gets started/initiated when the user gets authenticated to the VPN via the tunnel access (Connect tunnel or OnDemand tunnel).

The process is alive as long the user session is active. The function of this process is to monitor the session connectivity with the appliance and notify the user whenever there is a change in the session status.

Killing this process manually removes the connect tunnel icon from the system tray at the bottom right corner but the user is not disconnected from the VPN session.
