Impact on the System

New clients cannot connect to a CN.

System Actions

None

Possible Causes

The number of clients connected to a CN exceeds the threshold (specified by parameter max_connections*connection_alarm_rate) configured in the postgresql.conf file.

Procedure

Log in to the DWS console.
On the Alarm page, view the alarms generated in the last seven days.
Choose Dedicated Clusters > Clusters and locate the cluster based on the cluster information in the alarm details.
Click the cluster name to go to the cluster details page. Choose Parameter Modifications, search for max_connections in the search box on the right of the parameter list, and change its value.
Determine whether to increase the value of max_connections for CNs and DNs based on the following rules. The default value is 800 for CNs and 5,000 for DNs.
- Increasing the value of max_connections for CNs will increase the number of concurrent queries connected to DNs. Therefore, you need to increase the values of max_connections and comm_max_stream for DNs.
- Increase the value of max_connections for CNs/DNs by twice. For clusters with a small value, you can increase it by four times.
- To avoid failures in the preparation step, the value of max_prepared_transactions should at least be equal to that of max_connections. This ensures that each session has a prepared transaction in waiting state.
