Hey,

I've been testing the connection monitor and have a few questions regarding possible enhancements. The first thing I was wondering is if you can store the local address as well as the remote address. So for example if you type "netstat -a" in the command prompt you'll see local endpoints and their corresponding remote endpoint. This is important information which ports are communicating locally, and possibly if there's port-scanning going on. This might be a good way to fill in that "-1" slot in the log.

Another good enhancement would be to log the explicit state of the connection from the tcp tables. So for example instead of "tcp-connection" or "tcp-listening", you could have action states like "Established", "Listening", "Close Wait", etc. The event type would be "connection-tcp" or "connection-udp" instead of "connection". This way you could log more details about the connection while keeping the same amount of slots in the log.

Thoughts?

-Steve
