Default Re: Connection Table Monitoring

Not quite sure if it will help, but you can monitor the current connections with SNMP, if you turn on the CP snmpd.

Your monitoring station could then pull the current number of connections, and create an alarm, based on thresholds.

The box also syslogs when the connection table gets above a certain level (I think 80%, but don't quote me on that). Your syslog monitoring could produce alarms on those messages.

If you are quite worried about hitting your thresholds, then you should probably bump them up a little from the default - assuming you have the RAM for it.
