Below is a Munin Service Monitor screenshot for netstat by day which have a lot of failed connection. so I need to know is this a serious issue?

1Is it a serious issue? Maybe. It depends entirely on what those failed connections are/were. – joeqwerty Jun 10 '11 at 03:32

It should not be downvoted - it is a valid question on how to read this brain-dead graph. – the-wabbit Jun 10 '11 at 08:36

1Agreed syneticon-dj, I upvoted just to make up for that idiocy. People are way too judgmental here. – KCotreau Jun 10 '11 at 13:20

@joeqwerty *your* reputation is surely enough to have the "view vote counts" privilege. – the-wabbit Jun 11 '11 at 19:03

The number of "failed" connections in your graph is rather low. For some unfathomable reason, munin developers chose a logarithmic scale for graphing, but reading the y-axis you should see that the values for "failed" are somewhere between 1*10^(-2)/s and 1*10^(-1)/s, which expands to 3 - 30 failed connections within the 5 minute collection interval. Compared to the value of your successfully "established" connections which are graphed with a maximum of 230/s (or roughly 70,000 connections within the 5-min-interval) this is a rather low value.
So probably this is not a serious issue, unless of course you are investigating a particular problem and want to rule out failed connection setups as a possible cause.
