[ARGUS] Get active connections

[StoneBeat]

Hi,

first of all i want to tell i am new on this list and i don't know if it
is the correct place to ask my question.

I'm new with Argus and i'm a bit confussed with the multiple tools
associated with it.

I want to know how can i get the number of active connections TCP
established.

I'm sniffing a spanned mirror and i want to do a program that got active
conections on the sniffed network and, if a threshold is exceeded, (for
example i get 1000 active conections) printed out an alarm (simmilar as
the result of netstat of the active network connections).

I want to know how can my program interact with Argus to get the number
 of active connections.

Thanks in advance
