Concurrent connection limit nearing-checkpoint-all
Vendor: checkpoint
OS: all
Description:
indeni will trigger an issue the number of connections for a device is too high.
Remediation Steps:
Review why this may be happening and consider upgrading the device or redirecting traffic.

concurrent-connections:
why: |
To check the concurrent connections on all the VS's to monitor the fluctuations and patterns providing
insights to the performace and other configuration changes that might be needed

By checking the outputs for all the VS and listing the concurrent connections for all the VS with checkpoint
command "vsx stat -l"

concurrent-connections-limit:
why: |
To check the Concurrent connections limit set over the contexts of each VS.
