In a Qlik Sense environment with a maximum of two nodes, what should the admin set the max_connections to when adding four new nodes?

In a Qlik Sense environment, the max_connections parameter signifies the maximum number of concurrent connections that the system can handle. When considering scalability and adding new nodes to the cluster, it's important to understand how this setting should be adjusted.

For every node in a Qlik Sense environment, the max_connections setting is generally increased based on the expected increase in load and the number of nodes that will handle the requests. Initially, if the environment supports two nodes, the connections might be managed adequately within a certain range, allowing for a specified number of users to connect simultaneously.

When adding four new nodes, it is crucial to adjust the max_connections to accommodate the increased user load that can now be served concurrently by the additional nodes. Doubling the number of nodes typically leads to an increase in the capacity for handling additional connections. Therefore, the ideal adjustment would be to aim for a significant increase in the capacity based on the new total of nodes available.

Setting max_connections to 400 reflects this understanding, as it allows for each of the six nodes (two existing plus four new) to provide an adequate service level for users. Each node can handle a certain quota of connections, and multiplying this by the total number of nodes results in an
