How To Get a Count of SQL Connections BY IP Address

,

These queries (which work on both SQL Server 2005 and 2008) are very handy if you want to know who is connecting to a SQL Server instance and how they are doing it.  It will give you a nice idea how your application or web servers are behaving in terms of their number of open connections.

-- Get a count of SQL connections by IP address
SELECT ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name], 
es.[host_name], es.login_name, 
COUNT(ec.session_id) AS [connection count] 
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions AS es  
INNER JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections AS ec  
ON es.session_id = ec.session_id   
GROUP BY ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name], es.[host_name], es.login_name  
ORDER BY ec.client_net_address, es.[program_name];
-- Get a count of SQL connections by login_name
SELECT login_name, COUNT(session_id) AS [session_count] 
FROM  sys.dm_exec_sessions
GROUP BY login_name
ORDER BY login_name;
