Hi all

We have a requirement to graph the number of ports open on one of our servers.
I do notice an attempted graph at the bottom of the ports test page, but there is no appropriate rrd file.

Can anybody clue me in on
1. What it is supposed to graph
2. How I make it work

Thanks
    Vernon

Define the portcheck you want in hobbit-clients.cfg, like
   PORT state=ESTABLISHED min=0 TRACK=OpenPorts

The important thing is the "TRACK" definition.

Of course, I have actually used that before, I just forgot about it.

I wanted to simply count all my connections to see if I am reaching the kernel defined maximum overnight.
Don't think this will for me.

I have coded a quick script and graph to keep tabs on this.

Thanks
