Dangling Database Connection Detector
Detect dangling references to the database that applications may have been left connected even after the need to have a connection no more exists.

Challenges
  • Database connections are limited resources per system.

  • Difficult to maintain a constant pool of resources so that these can be allocated to the needed application.

    •
Results
 When applications do not release the DB connection resources to the pool, applications when needed will not get connections and result in system failure and/or call failure.

  • Monitor and detect dangling references in an automated way.
  • Catch and report resource hogging incidents.

Key Features
  • Uses Solaris 10 provided DTRACE facility to write scripts that can monitor such situations in the code.
  • Runs during the time of initialization of application to provide DB connections.
