Fix Recommendation

As the administrator locate the my.cnf file to change. For Centos, RedHat, and similar distributions this will be in /etc/my.cnf.d/.

In the [mariadb] section add the lines:

tcp_keepalive_interval == seconds
https://mariadb.com/docs/reference/mdb/system-variables/tcp_keepalive_interval/

tcp_keepalive_probes == number of probes
https://mariadb.com/docs/reference/mdb/system-variables/tcp_keepalive_probes/

tcp_keepalive_time == seconds
https://mariadb.com/docs/reference/mdb/system-variables/tcp_keepalive_time/

tcp_nodelay == boolean (off or on)
https://mariadb.com/docs/reference/mdb/system-variables/tcp_nodelay/

max_statement_time == seconds
https://mariadb.com/docs/reference/mdb/system-variables/max_statement_time/

Check Contents

As the database administrator, run the following SQL:

MariaDB> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'tcp_keepalive_interval';
MariaDB> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'tcp_keepalive_probes';
MariaDB> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'tcp_keepalive_time';
MariaDB> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'tcp_nodelay';
MariaDB> SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'max_statement_time';

If these settings are not set, this is a finding.
