tcp_portmon port_begin port_end item (index) (ip4 only at present)
TCP port monitor for specified local ports. Port numbers must be
in the range 1 to 65535. Valid items are:
count - total number of connections in the range
rip - remote ip address
rhost - remote host name
rport - remote port number
lip - local ip address
lhost - local host name
lservice - local service name from /etc/services
The connection index provides you with access to each connection
in the port monitor. The monitor will return information for
index values from 0 to n-1 connections. Values higher than n-1
are simply ignored. For the "count" item, the connection index
must be omitted. It is required for all other items.
Examples:
${tcp_portmon 6881 6889 count} - displays the number of connec‐
tions in the bittorrent port range
${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 0} - displays the remote host ip of the
first sshd connection
${tcp_portmon 22 22 rip 9} - displays the remote host ip of the
tenth sshd connection
${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rhost 0} - displays the remote host name of
the first connection on a privileged port
${tcp_portmon 1 1024 rport 4} - displays the remote host port of
the fifth connection on a privileged port
${tcp_portmon 1 65535 lservice 14} - displays the local service
name of the fifteenth connection in the range of all ports
Note that port monitor variables which share the same port range
actually refer to the same monitor, so many references to a sin‐
gle port range for different items and different indexes all use
the same monitor internally. In other words, the program avoids
creating redundant monitors.
