Hi Lachlan, Checking direct actions is a great idea. We also do a periodic "netstat -n | grep CLOSE_WAIT", kill the instances which have too many connections in CLOSE_WAIT state and send alert emails with additional info (mysql process list, app's intance log tail, instance's dump, open files via lsof).
Arguably, this is a bit easier to implement and maintain on a server with lots of different apps. Especially, when you cannot modify the app itself.
