Re: [Proftpd-user] Notification On MaxClients/MaxInstances

[<fid...@gm...>]

Thanks,

For instance if the limit is 250, when I reach 200, for my FTP box to 
call a HTTP endpoint that triggers an alert, or connect to DataDog or 
similar.

Was just wondering how other monitor these limits before they are too 
late and less reactive and more proactive monitoring.

Thank you.
