The connection index provides you with access to each connection
in the port monitor. The monitor will return information for in‐

simply ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index must

be omitted. It is required for all other items.

Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range
actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a sin‐

the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
creating redundant monitors.

Evaluate the content of the templateN configuration variable
(where N is a value between 0 and 9, inclusively), applying sub‐
stitutions as described in the documentation of the correspond‐

You can use the same special sequences in each argument as the
ones valid for a template definition, e.g. to allow an argument
to contain a whitespace. Also simple nesting of templates is
possible this way.
Here are some examples of template definitions:
template0 $\1\2
template1 \1: ${fs_used \2} / ${fs_size \2}
