current connection question on get_global_stats

I encourage monitoring CPU, memory, and throughput as your primary metrics. These are things you can run out of. A high connections per second value is a likely explanation for why your CPU usage is high, but it's only indirect -- there isn't a specific conn/s limit: you don't run out of conn/s, you run out of CPU. Similarly, a high conurrent connections value would correlate with a high memory usage.

 

 

Reasonable values for conn/s and conc. conns are tough to suggest generically, so I'd encourage you to primarily monitor CPU/mem/throughput, and secondarily conn/s, concurrent conns to give you an idea of what level of conn/s and concurrency correpsond to a given level of CPU/memory/throughput.
