get_al_active_connections() crashes iControlPortal.cgi

We're trying to sniff out client IP's that have (what we deem to be) excessively high connection and transfer rates (e.g. web spiders). .

 

 

Once these hosts are identified, we wish to be able to persist them all to a single node so one machine will handle their processing requirements w/o affecting "normal" traffic.

 

 

Given your reply, my current thought process is to ssh in, run bigpipe conn dump, parse that to identify potential "suspects" and then use iControl to track individual IP addresses. Problem is, I don't want to have to deal w/ all of the overhead and atomitcity (is that even a word?) of relying on an external shell, not to mention dealing w/ ssh keys and ssh-agent.

 

 

Any other way I can obtain a list of all client IP's and the total number of connections they have?

 

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Will
