Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: normal

Looking at some munin graphs I was astonished to find the "active" line
in the netstat behaves strange. After an uptime of several days it
suddenly jumps up to a value of e.g. 80 and then continuously rises, in
my example up to about 1000 during about 25 days.

Checking the /usr/share/munin/plugins/netstat I found the check for
"active connections" in the "netstat -s" is too lax, it also catches the
"active connections rejected because of time stamp" that appears every
now and then, thus creating an output with two active.value like in

| fetch netstat
+ active.value 305493
| passive.value 170922
| failed.value 631
| resets.value 30971
| established.value 66
+ active.value 2
| .

Replacing
| awk '/active connections/ (...)
by
| awk '/active connections openings/ (...)
made all trouble go away.
