Hi @all,<br>
<br>
I've the following output of a USR1 signal against the tor daemon in
my log:<br>

For my monitoring of the relay I thought having a look at the built
circuits would be the right approach and indicates a "healthy"
relay. But then I stumbled over the "Connections" vs. "OR
connections" vs "circuits" (I bolded the values).<br>
Now I'm a little bit confused. What is the right approach to monitor
the health of a (n exit) relay?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
