Issue/Introduction

The data_engine intermittently loses its connection to the database, sometimes even after 30 days as evidenced by the number of aborted connections in the data_engine.log.

data_engine [main] [main] - Open - Error: [main] thread_id: 0, error: Open: Can't connect to MySQL server on '172.27.153.60' (0) (errno:2003)

Environment

Release : 20.4

Component : UIM - DATA_ENGINE

Cause

- MySQL database configuration

Resolution

Add more RAM, e.g., up to 24 GB, and set MySQL max_connections up to 1000.
 
Restart MySQL server.
 
sudo service mysql restart
 
Then keep an eye on the connections and the physical RAM being utilized.
 
Some parameters were adjusted in order to keep the memory usage at ~12G.
