It's possible to open a connection to monpd's Thrift server and if the client does not actively close it, the connection will persist indefinitely (even if it's idle). As a result of this issue, you might experience the following symptoms: -- Cannot access event logs or reports. -- Cannot run tmsh analytics commands.
If the number of allowed connections to monpd's Thrift server is reached, monpd will not receive new connections. Since the idle connections can persist indefinitely this will deny service from monpd.
Client system opens a connection to monpd's Thrift server (port 9090 or 9091), and does not close it.
No workaround (except for manually killing open idle connections).
Idle connections are closed after one minute.
