Default Parameters for MariaConnTest

This test tracks client connections to the target server and reports their usage. With the help of the metrics reported by this test, administrators can assess the load on the server and can determine whether/not the server has sufficient free connections to handle subsequent connection requests. Based on these insights, administrators can plan the future connection capacity of the server.

This page depicts the default parameters that need to be configured for the MariaConnTest test.
