N3T_Connection_Count

The connection count provides the total number of TCP connections, TCP listeners, and UDP endpoints at the end of the last sampling interval. This includes connections that are in an established or a listening state. Determine a value for connection count by observing history to obtain a working baseline. A count significantly in excess of the established baseline indicates a change in network workload and can signify an impending performance problem.

Load balancing is a possible solution.

Formula: Connection Count >= 5000
