Github user jacksontj commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/598#issuecomment-214360346 IMO logging the connection count isn't the right way to go-- as the connections (number of them and lifecycle) are independent of the actual transactions that go across them (separate timers, min_origin_connections, etc.). As far as logging is concerned we already have a field for number of requests on the connection-- which is the best we can do (as thats the only overlap between the two). I'm not sure how we want to expose this metric, but I'm thinking we either add it to the regular stats interface (my concern being duplicating the metric), or make something like the web interfaces for connection counts (http API to get the table dumped directly), thoughts?
