how to monitor netstat, exceeding a # of ESTABLISHED conns?

[gornm565]

Hi
We had a runaway python.exe process on a critical Windows server that consumed too many resources and caused jobs to fail on it. When I ran "netstat -ano", I saw that there was a single process that had a ton of "ESTABLISHED" connections. The total output of "netstat -ano" just kept on scrolling, so it must have been hundreds or thousands. Once I killed the process, everything went back to normal. How can I get Nagios to monitor for this? Is there any kind of native check out there that I can use to warn me if there are more than a certain number of total "ESTABLISHED" connections or if a single process exceeds more than a specified number of "ESTABLISHED" connections?

What's the best way of going about it?

Thanks a lot.

@gornm565, Please take a look at this plugin(you will need to install the nsclient in order to get it to work).

Scroll down to the "Nagios" section.
Let me know if you think this could work for you.
