Hi,
We have a dotNet 6 Web Application running in IIS. The application was working alright. Yesterday for 15 minutes continuously the connection to MongoDB timed-out and then auto recovered by itself. The exception seen in the application log is:

MongoDB.Driver.MongoConnectionException: An exception occurred while opening a connection to the server. ---> System.Net.Internals.SocketExceptionFactory+ExtendedSocketException (10060): A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. xx.xx.xx.xx:27017 at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect(EndPoint remoteEP) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.TcpStreamFactory.Connect(Socket socket, EndPoint endPoint, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.TcpStreamFactory.CreateStream(EndPoint endPoint, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.SslStreamFactory.CreateStream(EndPoint endPoint, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.BinaryConnection.OpenHelper(CancellationToken cancellationToken) --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.BinaryConnection.OpenHelper(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Connections.BinaryConnection.Open(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.PooledConnection.Open(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.ConnectionCreator.CreateOpenedOrReuse(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.AcquireConnectionHelper.AcquireConnection(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.AcquireConnection(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Servers.Server.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Bindings.ServerChannelSource.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Bindings.ChannelSourceHandle.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.RetryableReadContext.Initialize(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.RetryableReadContext.Create(IReadBinding binding, Boolean retryRequested, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.FindOperation`1.Execute(IReadBinding binding, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.OperationExecutor.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IReadBinding binding, IReadOperation`1 operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IClientSessionHandle session, IReadOperation`1 operation, ReadPreference readPreference, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IClientSessionHandle session, IReadOperation`1 operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.FindSync[TProjection](IClientSessionHandle session, FilterDefinition`1 filter, FindOptions`2 options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.<>c__DisplayClass48_0`1.<FindSync>b__0(IClientSessionHandle session) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.UsingImplicitSession[TResult](Func`2 func, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.FindSync[TProjection](FilterDefinition`1 filter, FindOptions`2 options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.FindFluent`2.ToCursor(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.IAsyncCursorSourceExtensions.FirstOrDefault[TDocument](IAsyncCursorSource`1 source, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.IFindFluentExtensions.FirstOrDefault[TDocument,TProjection](IFindFluent`2 find, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

After 30 seconds this error was seen in the log:

MongoDB.Driver.MongoConnectionPoolPausedException: The connection pool is in paused state for server xxxyyyy-shard-00-01.xxxx.mongodb.net:27017. at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.PoolState.ThrowIfNotReady() at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.ConnectionCreator.CreateOpenedOrReuse(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.AcquireConnectionHelper.AcquireConnection(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.ConnectionPools.ExclusiveConnectionPool.AcquireConnection(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Servers.Server.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Bindings.ServerChannelSource.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Bindings.ChannelSourceHandle.GetChannel(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.RetryableReadContext.Initialize(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.RetryableReadContext.Create(IReadBinding binding, Boolean retryRequested, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.Core.Operations.FindOperation`1.Execute(IReadBinding binding, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.OperationExecutor.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IReadBinding binding, IReadOperation`1 operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IClientSessionHandle session, IReadOperation`1 operation, ReadPreference readPreference, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.ExecuteReadOperation[TResult](IClientSessionHandle session, IReadOperation`1 operation, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.FindSync[TProjection](IClientSessionHandle session, FilterDefinition`1 filter, FindOptions`2 options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.<>c__DisplayClass48_0`1.<FindSync>b__0(IClientSessionHandle session) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.UsingImplicitSession[TResult](Func`2 func, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.MongoCollectionImpl`1.FindSync[TProjection](FilterDefinition`1 filter, FindOptions`2 options, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.FindFluent`2.ToCursor(CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.IAsyncCursorSourceExtensions.FirstOrDefault[TDocument](IAsyncCursorSource`1 source, CancellationToken cancellationToken) at MongoDB.Driver.IFindFluentExtensions.FirstOrDefault[TDocument,TProjection](IFindFluent`2 find, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

The connection string is in the following format:

mongodb+srv://xxxxxxxxx:yyyyyyyyy@zzzzzzzz.mongodb.net/

Any suggestions or another option to diagnose this?

Hi @Venkatraman_U and welcome to the community forum

I understand its late to address your concern here and I hope you have found your solutions.

But for the future I would recommend you going through the performance and connection metrics for the Atlas cluster and analyse the graphs for the metrics. This would help you narrow down the issue and address the real problem.

For reference to look for the metrics, please read the blog post on MongoDB Cluster’s Operations and Connection Metrics to understand the significance of each of the metrics.

Please feel free to reach out in case of further questions.

Best Regards
