Cache Hosts - Which are tempting max_connect_errors?
Hi, Is there a way in 4.X or 5.0 to tell which hosts are running up the counter towards max_connect_errors? We'd like to be able to monitor this and act accordingly? I've seen that they suggest to set it to 9 in 13.5.5.2 FLUSH Syntax to avoid it. I'm just wondering why they didn't say to just use --skip-cache-host .

max_connect_errors
Hello, Does MySQL store a current error count (for each host?) internally that I can enquire on? I did not find this information in the MySQL manual. If the current error count is available, so that I can monitor it for specific hosts and issue a alert when it crosses a threshold. Please help!

We have it set to 10,000 now, but that only buys us time. When is this counter reset? on FLUSH HOSTS Is it ongoing until a FLUSH HOSTS? yes Is it until mysql is restarted? it does also reset on restart To disable for practical purposes, set it to 2^32-1 = 4294967295. On top, once a day run FLUSH HOSTS At the same time try to figure out why you are getting so many of them. -- Sasha Pachev Create online surveys at http://www.surveyz.com/ -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe:http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: max_connect_errors wait_timeout problem?

If you read the comments on http://www.mysql.com/doc/B/l/Blocked_host.html it seems that decreasing wait_timeout does cause this. Is there a bug in mysql where it thinks that killing off sleeping threads is really a connect error? I'm using 3.23.45, btw. I'm not shure, but i think it is not a bug. I think a connection is only successfull when it is closed by the same entity who opened it. If it was mysql closing the connection, then it should increment its counter of connection_errors. It tells that someone opened a connection and did not close it. It's only an opinion. -- Diana Soares - Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Trouble unsubscribing?

max_connect_errors security behind a firewall
What is the security concerns about incresing the number of max_connect_errors? And if I am behind a firewall and the server is only accessed by only one machine, in the case it=B4s accessed only by the webserver. I have to admit that I dont understand the purpose of a too low default number for max_connect_errors. Locking the server after only 10 connections seens to be paranoidy precaution.
