      Hi MongoDB Support Team,

      I have a general question, as I am a database administrator currently helping a customer that is developing an application on MongoDB.

      We are receiving alerts informing us that the number of open connections is above 2,000. After checking the server, I notice that there are ~3,000 connections open and about ~16,000 connections available.

      Is this a problem? Should the application be more careful to close connections in order to keep the number of open connections below 2,000?

      What is the best practice here?

      Thank you,
      Chad
