MySQL max connection usage check

Description

The status variable max_used_connections indicates the highest number of connections used since the previous system restart. This warrants attention when the value approaches the predetermined max_connections limit.

Resolution

Revisit the max_connections configuration option and revise it inside the limit of your platform resources, if necessary. Alternatively, manage your max connection usage.
