Hmm! Based on the server and how I know it's used, there really
shouldn't be 900+ close-Wait processes out there.... :-)

Kent,
I just wanted to point out that close_wait is a normal state for tcp
connections to be in. It is part of a passive close process. You can
refer
to 18.5 of TCP/IP Illustrated Volume 1 by W.R. Stevens.
To quote:
"TCP provides the ability for one end of a connection to terminate its
output, while still receiving data from the other end. This is called a
half-close. Few applications take advantage of this capability, as we
mentinoned earlier."

This is an interesting read. Maybe your java apps isn't supposed to be
doing
passive closing.

Hi-- I'm wrestling with the PORTS option of a host, trying to watch
for a specific issue.
While I have successfully matched rule(s) for simple things like SSH
port(s) listening, I cannot seem to get a rule to match the following:
We have a stupid java server thing that keeps leaving ports in a
close_wait state. See example below.
What rule would I use for watching for these? I'm trying something
along the lines of:
HOST=starr.brc.mcw.edu
PORT "REMOTE=%*.8085" STATE=CLOSE_WAIT max=20 color=red
TRACK=hung TEXT=hung
But it never matches. I've tried lots of variations.
Any help appreciated!! (goal: If I see more than "N" number of these
ports, I want to flag red)
Tue Jul 11 16:30:46 CDT 2006 - Ports NOT ok
hung (found 0, req. between 1 and 20) <== this is the rule
that doesn't work..
ssh (found 7, req. 1 or more)
