    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).
