Adviosor check: MongoDB active vs available connections

Description

This check returns a warning if the ratio between active and available connections is higher than 75%.

This check is relevant because of the risk of running out of connections. If this happens, application won’t be able to connect to MongoDB.

Resolution

We recommend increasing the ULIMIT to accept more connections or to evaluate the current workload from applications.

An unexpected spike on the workload or not optimized queries could be the root cause of more active connections.
