How to Check Apache Concurrent Connections in Linux Using netstat and ss Command?

BySam

What’s ss Command?

ss stands for socket statistics. It is used to dump socket statistics about network/socket connections.

It’s showing information similar to netstat, it works better and faster compared with netstat. It can display more TCP and state information than other tools.

Since the ss command gets all the information directly from kernel space (with single source) that’s why it’s faster than netstat.

What’s netstat Command?

netstat stands for network statistics. It displays network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, multicast memberships and network protocol statistics.

The netstat command has been deprecated and replaced by the ss command in most of the Linux distributions.

It reads various /proc files to gather information. It would take more time when there are lots of connections to display.

How to Count Apache’s (Httpd) Current Connections in Linux Using ss Command?

Use the ss command with following options to count Apache current connections in Linux.

# ss -ant | grep :80 | wc -l
110

How to Count Apache’s (Httpd) Current Connections in Linux Using netstat Command?
