DMC proxy log reports “Client connection was reset by peer”

Question

Why does the DMC proxy log reports “Client connection was reset by peer”?

Answer

The DMC proxy usually reports such an issue when the clients disconnect. Other known cases are detected thanks to the analysis of the slowlog for the database which shows that there is frequent hogging using high complexity and slow commands, such as the KEYS command. This explains the message "connection was reset by peer", which is typically related to client disconnects/timeouts.

In order to discard disconnections caused by slow commands, check the slow log from the Redis Enterprise UI. RedisInsight has a slow log panel as well.
