Feature description
'Client Error Limit' is a feature that limits the number of connection errors that can be initiated from a particular address before denying future connections from that address.
Feature is controlled by new introduced variables:
mysql-client_host_error_counts
: Determines the number of errors than a client address needs to reach before getting banned for future connections.mysql-client_host_cache_size
: Determines the size of the cache being used for keeping track of the clients addresses that have had any connection errors.When enabled, the expected behavior for the cache is the following:
Two new tables has also been introduced for being able to inspect the
client_host_cache
:stats.stats_mysql_client_host_cache
stats.stats_mysql_client_host_cache_reset
As in other tables, querying
stats_mysql_client_host_cache_reset
performs a reset of the current values hold by the cache.
