Today we are pleased to announce the latest version of NetStat Agent 3.3 with support for IPv6.

To date, IPv6 is supported only in the netstat utility to monitor IPv6 connections, but not far off the day and other tools (Ping, Traceroute, HTTP, etc.) will support IPv6.

NetStat Agent 3.3 will search the country to address (IPv6-to-Country). Also, the errors have been solved from the monitoring UDP connections and updated database of addresses for IPv4.

We hope the new version will have you in mind!

I was asked by email how to monitor only one local port, so decided to answer in blog.

Let assume that we have a HTTP server (Apache) on local port 80 and we want to monitor all HTTP connections. With installed NetStat Agent it is very easy to do.

After running NetStat you will see a lot of connections (click to see the large picture):

So we need to create a filter in “Monitor” tab to hide unwanted connections:

1. In the context menu (right click) select “Clear” to clear all fields.
2. Set the name of filter: “hide all”.
3. Set action as “Hide”.
4. Check on the box “Enabled”.
5. Press “Add” button to add a new filter.

The result you may see on the screenshot:

After adding this filter all connections are invisible. So we need another one to show only wanted connections:

1. In the context menu (right click) select “Clear” to clear all fields.
2. Set the name of filter: “show http”.
3. Set the local port: 80.
4. Check on “Select” action only.
5. Press “Add”.

See screenshot:

Now if you select “Connections” tab again, you will see only HTTP connections:

With NetStat Agent you may monitor HTTP visitors in real-time mode!
