Hello, I am using Ktor client (2.3.2) with CIO engine. There are

maxConnectionsPerRoute

and

maxConnectionsCount

endpoint settings to control how many connections can be made at any moment of time. I am wondering, if there is an easy way to monitor actual number of connections? I want to do that in order to prevent situations where amount of connections reaches a configured maximum. I have a web service that makes HTTP requests while processing an HTTP request from its client, so if it delays too long on acquiring a connection, it affects its own processing of the request. I can see there is a private val

connections

in the

Endpoint

class and looks like this is what I am interested in, but it is private. Am I missing something?

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to monitor the actual number of the connections because as you correctly noticed the associated variables are private. You can set a connection timeout to prevent a situation where the client waits too long to establish a connection.

Thanks!!
