Connection's to a web box

I get alot of questions about, NLB and how to determine the drainstop. . . when is long enough. So to help I constantly send people the following command:

Netstat -an | find ":80" /c

This will output only the number of current connections.

The parameter ":80" is the port number if your site is SSL only and standard change the ":80" to ":443".

Remember if you monitoring your website that counts as at least one connection. . .
