Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Network Instability or Firewall
Intermittent network issues, firewall blockages, or incorrect routing between the client and the MariaDB server can prevent stable connection establishment.
⚠️
MariaDB Server Resource Exhaustion
The MariaDB server might be running out of system resources such as memory, CPU, or available connection slots, leading it to forcefully close new or idle connections.
⚠️
Client Application Malfunction
The client application itself might be misconfigured, crashing, or failing to properly initialize or maintain its connection to the database, causing the server to abort.
⚠️
Aggressive Server Timeout Settings
MariaDB server configuration parameters like `wait_timeout` or `connect_timeout` might be set too low, causing connections to be aborted if they are not established or active within the specified period.
