Can't log in remotely. Could not connect to MySQL server.

When I try to log into findvera.com I'm getting this message in the browser and it won't log in.(Could not connect to MySQL server.)  I got it for about 4 hours yesterday and now again today. Anyone else getting this?

yes, me too.  however, if you log in from your home network, it works normally.  Yesterday went it went down, I had to reboot Vera since the entire system was shot.  No problems after I rebooted until this evening.

It's still happening and I have tenents checking it today and can't put their lock code in. Unfortunately I'm not local today and have to make an hour trip to go set it manually. This sucks

I contacted them and they said they were working on it and now it's back up and running.

The server got completely flooded by constant update requests (like hundreds per second), which exceeded the available database connections.  We put in a filter on that IP, so it should be ok, and we're working on a permanent solution to prevent it from happening again in the future.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

A good passive HTTP/HTTPS traffic monitoring appliance could detect this (and others) kind of problem with the root cause long before users realize something goes wrong.
