conntrack: Display a real-time event log of connection changes for a specific IP address.
$ conntrack --event --orig-src ${ip_address}
try on your machine
The command conntrack --event --orig-src ${ip_address}
is used to monitor events related to network connections established by the machine. Let's break down the command:
conntrack
: It is a utility program that allows users to view and manipulate the in-kernel connection tracking state table.--event
: This flag instructsconntrack
to print events related to network connections. It will display information whenever a connection is created, destroyed, or modified.--orig-src
: This flag filters the events based on the original source IP address of the connection.${ip_address}
: This is a placeholder syntax to represent the specific IP address you want to filter events for. You need to replace${ip_address}
with the actual IP address you want to monitor.
By using this command, you can monitor events related to network connections that have a specific source IP address, as specified by ${ip_address}
.
