Find out the number of connections to tomcat server

Question

I have a Java/Java EE web application deployed on Tomcat Server 5.5.17. I want to know the number of clients which are connected to the server. How can we find it out?

Answer 1

And if you need to figure to what each connection is doing , use this on linux

netstat -an | grep :8080 | awk '{print $6}'

If there are three connections , you will see

LISTEN TIME_WAIT TIME_WAIT

And if you only want to count connections which are in TIME_WAIT state

netstat -an | grep :8080 | grep TIME_WAIT | wc -l
