Netstat Monitoring
Monitor active connections, open ports, listened services, routing tables, and network interfaces in real time with zero configuration.
Why monitor Netstat?
Netstat is a powerful command-line network utility that provides detailed information about network connections, routing tables, and interface statistics. Xitoring's Netstat integration gives you deep visibility into your server's network activity, helping you identify security threats, performance bottlenecks, and unauthorized access — all from a unified dashboard.
