This has happened in the past a handful of times. I suspect that our own code is taking the server down via retries. I'm thinking we should detect a too many connections error and cause the client to wait for a period of time before retrying. I'm not sure how best to do this or if this really is the cause of the problem. I tried to connect to the server to see what queries are running but I can't get connected to issue the request.

Hello,
I am unable to access the database now because of too many MySQL connections. Does anyone have a log file to indicate whether this is some sort of attack, or whether we just have too many legitimate users?
