AppDB down - too many SQL connections?

[Alexander Nicolaysen Sørnes]

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?

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.
