An entry was added to the 2.1.0 changelog: The alert for “Connection Usage Excessive” recommended raising max_connections. However, if the users raised max_connections based only on the advice of the alert, they could potentially exhaust all RAM and SWAP. This alert should have made the proviso that max_connections be increased only if sufficient free RAM is available to support the additional connections. The alert should also have recommended checking that all connections are correctly closed, and suggest lowering the wait_timeout or interactive_timeout settings.
