Assuming you are proxying via domain socket, raindrops includes a
parser to extract the socket's active and queued connections. We use
a script that publishes the following to our monitoring tools:
Raindrops::Linux.unix_listener_stats(["/path/to/socket"])[0]
# => #<struct Raindrops::ListenStats active=6, queued=0>
If you want to call this repeatedly without a process supervisor, you
can use bash scripts embedded in cron to get arbitrary granularity:
SHELL=bash
* * * * * for ((n=0;n<12;n++)); do /bin/publish_stats; sleep 5; done
