How It Affects Your App
This error indicates that a secure transport layer is required for the connection to the MySQL server. This means that the application must use a secure protocol such as SSL or TLS to establish a connection with the MySQL server. Without a secure transport layer, the application will not be able to connect to the MySQL server, resulting in an inability to access the data stored in the database. This can have a significant impact on the application, as it will be unable to perform any of its intended functions.
How To Fix
1. SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connect_errors'; This command will show the current value of the max_connect_errors variable.
2. SET GLOBAL max_connect_errors=10000; This command will set the max_connect_errors variable to a higher value.
3. FLUSH PRIVILEGES; This command will flush the privileges so that the new value of the max_connect_errors variable is applied.
4. SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'max_connect_errors'; This command will show the new value of the max_connect_errors variable.
5. Use an automated database observability tool to monitor and fix the MySQL 3159 in question. Automated database observability tools can help identify and diagnose issues quickly, as well as provide insights into the performance of the database. They can also provide alerts when certain thresholds are exceeded, allowing for proactive monitoring and maintenance of the database.
