Perl script that checks the number of established network connections using lsof
You can check the number of established network connections of a specific user or the number of network connections of a given command. Those two options can be combined.

Note: This script uses lsof with sudo.
Make sure your /etc/sudoers is properly configured.
For example put the following line into /etc/sudoers

nagios ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/lsof

Please refer to the manpages for further options.


Examples of usage:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_connections.pl -w 200 -c 250 -C httpd
Will check the number of network connections for any command containig httpd. If the number of established connections is equal to or exceeds 200 a warning is reported, if it's more or equal to 250 the an error.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_connections.pl -w 200 -c 250 -u apache
Same as above except not commands containing httpd will be checked but any commands owned by user apache. You can also use uids instead of login names.

/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_connections.pl -w 200 -c 250 -u apache -C httpd
This checks only commands containing httpd owned by user apache.
