Name

TCPS-810 — The configured maximum of proxy child processes has been reached

Severity

A (alert)

Message text

Maximum number of children (%1) reached

Description

The maximum number of child processes which handle client requests is set in the configuration (TCPSERVER.MAX-CHILDREN). If too many clients connect to the proxy, all possible child processes will be busy and new clients will have to wait or will be rejected. For heavily loaded proxies, it may be necessary to increase the maximum number of children. The actual number of child processes varies between TCPSERVER.MIN-IDLE and TCPSERVER.MAX-CHILDREN according to the proxy load. Note that unexpectedly increased load of a proxy may signal a DoS attack or other malicious activity.
