Overview

This incident type occurs when a MySQL server receives a packet that is larger than the maximum size allowed for the packet. This can happen when a client attempts to send data to the server that surpasses the limit set by the server configuration. As a result, the MySQL server terminates the connection and generates an error message indicating that the packet is too large. This error can impact the availability and performance of the application that relies on the MySQL database.

Parameters

Repair

Increase the max_allowed_packet value in the MySQL configuration file. This is the maximum size of a packet that MySQL can receive or send.
