6.8. Monitoring active connections

ZMC provides a status window to monitor the active connections of an instance (for information on instances, see Section 6.3, Zorp instances). Navigate to the Zorp ZMC component, select an instance, then click Active Connections.

Tip

Multiple instances can also be selected.

The Active connections window displays the following parameters of the active services within the instance:

  • Name: It provides the name of the service (for example, intra_HTTP_inter).

  • Proxy module: It provides the name of the proxy (for example, MyHttpProxy).

  • Proxy class: It identifies the proxy class from which the proxy module used in the service definition was derived (for example, HttpProxy).

  • Client address: It is the IP address of the client.

  • Client port: It is the port number of the client.

  • Client local: It is the IP address targeted by the client.

  • Client local port: It is the port targeted by the client.

  • Client zone: It is the zone the client belongs to.

  • Server address: It is the IP address of the server.

  • Server port: It is the port number of the server.

  • Server local: It is the IP address used by Zorp on the server-side (the server sees this address as client address).

  • Server local port: It is the port used by Zorp on the server-side (the server receives the connection from this port).

  • Server zone: It is the zone the server belongs to.

Note

The Proxy class and Proxy module parameters are empty for packet filter services.

Active connections

Figure 6.79. Active connections

The list of active connections is not updated real-time, it is only a snapshot. It can be updated by clicking Refresh now. The Jump to service displays the configuration of the selected service on the Services tab.

The Active connections window is a Filter window, thus various simple and advanced filtering expressions can be used to display only the required information. For details on the use and capabilities of Filter windows, see Section 3.3.10, Filtering list entries.
