#!/usr/bin/env python ''' This runs netstat on a local or remote server. It calculates some simple statistical information on the number of external inet connections. It groups by IP address. This can be used to detect if one IP address is taking up an excessive number of connections. It can also send an email alert if a given IP address exceeds a threshold between runs of the script. This script can be used as a drop-in Munin plugin or it can be used stand-alone from cron. I used this on a busy web server that would sometimes get hit with denial of service attacks. This made it easy to see if a script was opening many multiple connections. A typical browser would open fewer than 10 connections at once. A script might open over 100 simultaneous connections. ./topip.py [-s server_hostname] [-u username] [-p password] {-a from_addr,to_addr} {-n N} {-v} {--ipv6} -s : hostname of the remote server to login to. -u : username to user for login. -p : password to user for login. -n : print stddev for the the number of the top 'N' ipaddresses. -v : verbose - print stats and list of top ipaddresses. -a : send alert if stddev goes over 20. -l : to log message to /var/log/topip.log --ipv6 : this parses netstat output that includes ipv6 format. Note that this actually only works with ipv4 addresses, but for versions of netstat that print in ipv6 format. --stdev=N : Where N is an integer. This sets the trigger point for alerts and logs. Default is to trigger if the max value is over 5 standard deviations. Example: This will print stats for the top IP addresses connected to the given host: ./topip.py -s www.example.com -u mylogin -p mypassword -n 10 -v This will send an alert email if the maxip goes over the stddev trigger value and the the current top ip is the same as the last top ip (/tmp/topip.last): ./topip.py -s www.example.com -u mylogin -p mypassword \\ -n 10 -v -a alert@example.com,user@example.com This will print the connection stats for the localhost in Munin format: ./topip.py PEXPECT LICENSE This license is approved by the OSI and FSF as GPL-compatible. http://opensource.org/licenses/isc-license.txt Copyright (c) 2012, Noah Spurrier PERMISSION TO USE, COPY, MODIFY, AND/OR DISTRIBUTE THIS SOFTWARE FOR ANY PURPOSE WITH OR WITHOUT FEE IS HEREBY GRANTED, PROVIDED THAT THE ABOVE COPYRIGHT NOTICE AND THIS PERMISSION NOTICE APPEAR IN ALL COPIES.
