Total number of connections receivedDimensions:None
Summary
Cumulative counter of all connection attempts accepted by Redis since startup. The rate of change indicates connection churn — how frequently clients connect and disconnect. High churn rates may indicate connection pooling issues (clients not reusing connections), short-lived processes, or aggressive connection timeout settings. Compare with current connected clients to understand connection lifetime patterns.

Connection Rejection Cascade From Maxclient Saturationcritical
When Redis reaches maximum client connections (redis.connections.rejected increasing), new connection attempts fail silently while existing connections continue working normally, creating intermittent failures that are difficult to diagnose from application metrics alone.
