[MariaDB discuss] Re: is blocked because of many connection

at the point at which connections are blocked the database the remote host wants to use is not even known yet, so this blocking mechanism can't take it into account.

The related setting is max_connect_errors, but as far as I can tell it defaults to 100 for all MariaDB releases, and for MySQL, too, at least back to MySQL 5.7

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/server-system-variables/#max_connect_errors

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system- variables.html#sysvar_max_connect_errors

That's why I was asking for specific version information on a previous reply ...

Is it possible to get this logged. Currently I only see restarts being logged (to a remote syslog)
