suddenly created many connections

I have seen suddenly so many established connections like below on my
system.

There is http & tomcat both are running on the same machine.

Previously it was not there. only last 3 days i am observing it. moreover
since then i have installed nagios on the same server to measure the
activity of the server.

tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.4.5:8009     ::ffff:192.168.4.5:36290
ESTABLISHED -
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.4.5:8009     ::ffff:192.168.4.5:41666
ESTABLISHED -
tcp        0      0 ::ffff:192.168.4.5:8009     ::ffff:192.168.4.5:52930
ESTABLISHED -

Can some one explain me.

Looks like you have Tomcat listening on a private interface to port
8009 (which is the default AJP/1.3 port) and another process on the
local machine is connected to it (most likely Apache httpd).

Did you know that AJP connections are intended to be (and, in a
default configuration, are) persistent? That means that if you forward
10 connections from httpd -> Tomcat, you will likely have 10
connections maintained between httpd -> Tomcat for a while -- a few
minutes probably.

All of this you can configure: just read the documentation for mod_jk
and the AJP connectors (remember: there are 3 of them: BIO, NIO, and APR).

Did you notice different behavior before? Or are you only now noticing
that AJP connections are long-lived?

it might be best for you to inform the list with more details on any/all
responsibilities/jobs/processes of this system of yours.

http & tomcat = ? http = apache httpd? what all is tomcat doing? is there a
web app running on tomcat serving many requests?

are you saying that you observed this behavior prior to or after installing
nagios?

FYI, sometime within the last 2 to 3 weeks, I did a 'netstat' in Command
Prompt on my development and production servers (Microsoft Windows Server
2008). This was really my first time doing this, and I recognized a lot of
'imap' connections on the production server. So, after some research
(searching google/stackoverflow.com), I refactored my javamail code that
was responsible for the many (or infinite # of) imap TCP connections
showing up in 'netstat' output, and now, I no longer have the infinite # of
imap TCP connections any longer.

So, you really have to examine your 'system'. Evidently, the TCP
connections are all considered as 'working as designed' (according to
someone's coding/implementation or some third party tool/software).
