check when a S2S VPN established

 show vpn-sessiondb l2l filter ipaddress x.x.x.x


Connection   : x.x.x.x

Index        : 69987                  IP Addr      : x.x.x.x

Protocol     : IKEv1 IPsec

Encryption   : IKEv1: (1)AES256  IPsec: (2)AES256

Hashing      : IKEv1: (1)SHA1  IPsec: (2)SHA1

Bytes Tx     : 6629603                Bytes Rx     : 9801553

Login Time   : 07:20:46 UTC Wed Jul 13 2022

Duration     : 4h:12m:59s

Tunnel Zone  : 0


Some useful items we can see the login time (time of last rekey)

Duration, how long the VPN has been up since then.


You can check 
sh crypto isakmp sa detail | b x.x.x.x

IKE Peer: x.x.x.x
Type    : L2L             Role    : initiator
Rekey   : no              State   : MM_ACTIVE
Encrypt : aes-256         Hash    : SHA
Auth    : preshared       Lifetime: 86400
Lifetime Remaining: 70716

Here you can see the lifetime and lifetime4 remaining. You can use these values to work out when next rekey should be.

86400 / 60 /60 = 24 (hours)

70716 /60 /60 = 19.6 (hours

That matches up to the 4 hour duration so everything looks good there. If you keep checking in on it or are able to monitor the VPN you might spot that is rekeying randomly and that needs to be investigated.
