> You are most likely running db pools with a number of worker processes.  If you look at the MySQL connections most of them will be idle.  If that's the case set the db pool timeout lower.  Lower the pool size down.  Each worker thread opens a connection pool to the database.  If you are running 10 workers with a min db pool size of 5 and a max of 10.  You will have a minimum number of 50 db connections, max 100, per server running that service.

This is great information Kris.

It's also worth noting that MySQL connections that are idle eat up very
little RAM and so you can probably bump it up a bit.

The setting for that is max_connections:

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/server-system-variables.html#sysvar_max_connections

The default of 151 is pretty conservative. You can probably safely raise
it to 400 on anything but the most memory constrained MySQL server.

I can see this in the logs of all components: "OperationalError: (pymysql.err.OperationalError) (1040, u'Too many connections')" If I increase the max_connections on mysql works well a few minutes but the same error. Maybe Openstack don't close connections with Mysql. The version of Mysql is 5.7.
