I wrote a simple plugin to check the number of established connections
to a windows server. Just execute:
cmd /c netstat -an |find /i “estab” /c
I also wrote a script for Windows
Here is the code
I have also done the same for a linux server. Just exec.:
netstat -an | grep -c EST
In fact that script is only 2 lines:
result=`netstat -anp | grep :81 | grep -c EST`
echo “Conexoes Totais = $result |Conexoes=$result”
Note that | will graph that result, witch is very usefull!
If we may need unique IP only then it should be something like:
netstat -an |grep ” 0 $port:8080″ |grep ESTA |awk ‘{print $5}’ |grep -v $port |cut -d “:” -f1 | sort -u |wc -l
Much Better:
ss -s |grep estab | awk ‘{print $4}’|tr -d “,”
There are many ways of getting that information, I have also
done the same thing via WMI, perfmon has that counter
and it maybe easier to for example find out the total number of
current connections to a specific website.
The script for windows is a .vbs and I call it using NC_NET
it can be downloaded here.
If you need just simple and fast use:

Here is the code:

#!/bin/bash
#Get number of current all estabilished connections
result=`ss -s |grep estab | awk '{print $4}'|tr -d ","`
echo "Conexoes Totais = $result |Conexoes=$result"

I just updated this old plugin, now it accepts argument and make graphs etc…
Example:
# ./check_con 1433 -w 1 -c 2 -f
OK – Connections on port 1433 = 0|Conections=0
