<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#032DFD;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The ports check is just netstat -an. I would suggest for these servers you use slimmode as you mention and then add an external script to run your own netstat command and exclude the
lines for the IPs you are not interested in. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#032DFD;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">For example, you can pipe the output of netstat to findstr and use an inverse match to exclude the lines matching the expression using /v:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even after setting pretty high values for MAXMSG_CLIENT (2560) MAXMSG_STATUS (2048) i got purples from our exchange servers, mainly caused by port test being truncated after about 37000 lines.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I noticed the new slimmode options in 2.27 version, but it (AFAIK) could only cut the whole port test, preventing any network port count analysis.
<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since most of the connections are between the (two) exchange servers, and are reported twice in IPV4 and IPV6 notation, could there be a way to filter the "internal" connections on the client side without sending them to xymon server?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I attach an example.<o:p></o:p></p>
