Current users and MaxClients setting

I was wondering if there was a away to determine the user and or sessions that are causing this error

 

re: SOL9588: Error Message: httpd: [error] server reached MaxClients setting

 

Thanks

 

  • The usual linux tools for viewing connections are the only thing available:

    netstat, lsof

    netstat -pant | grep ESTABLISHED | grep :443

    Or something like that should give you a list of all connections to port 443 (HTTPS) to the management interface.

    If you want to get more information, then you will need to capture the traffic, decrypt it and look inside (tcpdump, ssldump, wireshark).
