Description: This is the number of connection attempts that have been made to the Gopher Server
What is connectionAttempts?
connectionAttempts counts the total number of connection attempts made to the Gopher server, whether or not they succeeded. An admin compares this against successful sessions or abortedConnections to spot unusual patterns like repeated failed connection attempts, which could indicate network issues or probing activity. For example, a connectionAttempts count much higher than the sum of successful sessions and normal aborts might prompt an admin to check for connectivity problems or scanning activity.
