how to see the number of active connections count?

[hamed-shirbandi]

i need to monitor proxies and see the number of users of them. how can i do that?

[alexbers]

The proxy prints those stats every 10 minutes. They look like this

Stats for 05.06.2018 22:06:11
tg: 29 connects (0 current), 0.04 MB
tg2: 1268 connects (0 current), 0.02 MB

If you're using docker, the docker-compose logs command can be used to see the number of active connections

@alexbers, how about more "parseable" statistics format?
For example, JSON or CSV or key=value via http(s) request or CLI command or rewriteable file like openvpn-status.log?

users=tg,tg2
tg.connects=29
tg.curr_connects=0
tg.octets=0.04
tg.msgs=111
tg2.connects=1268
tg2.curr_connects=0
tg2.octets=0.02
tg2.msgs=222

tg;29;0;0.04;111
tg2:1268;0;0.02;222

Thanks!

@Allineer you can have statistics in Prometheus format if you check prometheus branch

@seriyps Спасибо!

docker-compose logs doesn't echo the same output as before! it doesn't show the connection stats and numbers!

[alexbers]

do you use prometheus branch? could you send the output of docker-compose logs command (please, replace your server ip with 0.0.0.0)?

@alexbers @seriyps Is there a way to see the number of connections when I'm running the proxy with Python command? I ran 6 instances with tmux on a 6cpu server

[alexbers]

yes, you can use netstat -tn command, like netstat -tn | wc -l

[seriyps]

@alexbers it will show both connections from clients to proxy and from proxy to telegram servers. Also, it will show other connections on the system. So, it might be bit better to use ss -nt state established '( sport = 443 )' | wc -l (here 443 is proxy port; if proxy uses different port, replace 443 with yours

The Prometheus support have been merged to master
