Determining number of active connections

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I'd like to be able to monitor (trend) the number of tracked connections in iptables; however, doing something like "cat /proc/net/ip_conntrack | wc -l" eats up too much CPU to run with regularity (we track somewhere in the realm of 200,000 connections).

Is there a way to just pull the total number? It'd be nice to know that we aren't even getting close to the number of connections set in the sysctl. 

Thanks!
