Max_connect_errors–mysql Performance Parameters Detailed

Max_connect_errors is a security-related counter value in MySQL that is responsible for blocking excessive attempts by clients that fail to prevent brute-force password violations. The value of max_connect_errors is not much related to performance.

By default, there may not be this line in the My.cnf file, and if you need to set this number, you can add it manually.

Parameter format

1	Max_connect_errors = Ten

Modify method

If the system is CentOS, Debian, etc., the configuration file may be located in/etc/my.cnf. Open this file

1	[root@www ~]# vi/etc/my.cnf

Then add the above statement in the [mysqld] configuration section.

Configuration Instructions

When this value is set to 10 o'clock, it means that if a client attempts to connect to this MySQL server but fails (such as a password error, and so on) 10 times, MySQL will unconditionally force this client connection to be blocked.

If you want to reset the value of this counter, you must restart the MySQL server or perform

1	mysql> FLUSH HOSTS;

Command.

When this client successfully connects to a MySQL server, the max_connect_errors for this client are zeroed out.

Impact and wrong form

If the setting of the max_connect_errors is too small, the Web page may prompt that the database server cannot be connected, and the MySQL command to SSH to the database will return

ERROR 1129 (00000): Host ' Gateway ' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with ' mysqladmin flush-hosts '

Error.

Functions and Roles

In general, it is recommended that the database server does not listen for connections from the network, only through sock connections, which prevents most attacks against MySQL, and if it is necessary to turn on MySQL's network connection, it is best to set this value to prevent brute-code attacks.
