Descripción

### problem

We are experiencing a critical connection leak in Apache CloudStack 4.22.1.0 (running on Ubuntu 24.04). The background task for Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) leaks database connections every time it executes.

Even when setting wait_timeout on MySQL server side or trying to inject pool properties, the connections remain blocked within the Java application state as active, eventually hitting the db.cloud.maxActive threshold (default 250), which causes the management server to stop responding and throw SQLTransientConnectionException.

### versions

CloudStack Version: 4.22.1.0
OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS
DB: MySQL 8.0.45
Java Version: 17.0.19

### The steps to reproduce the bug

1. Configure Out-of-Band Management (OOBM) for multiple physical hosts
2. Set outofbandmanagement.background.task.execution.interval to a lower value for testing purposes (e.g., 60 or 300 to accelerate the leak
3. Monitor the MySQL SHOW FULL PROCESSLIST; vs. the CloudStack Management Server Metrics over time.
...

### What to do about it?

Every time the OOBM task runs, it opens 1 connection per configured host (3 connections in total for our setup). These connections are never returned to the HikariCP pool (missing .close() or unhandled exception block in the OOBM plugin execution layer).

The Mismatch between DB and Java Pool:

MySQL Side: Sells connections as Sleep. If MySQL kills them via wait_timeout, the sockets are closed on the network layer.

CloudStack/HikariCP Side: Because the leaked connections are still flagged as active (In-Use) by the OOBM thread, HikariCP never runs a health check on them and refuses to evict them via maxLifetime. The internal counter stays at active=250.

Once the counter hits 250, the management server crashes.

Logs & Error Stacktrace:

2026-06-08 21:14:28,070 ERROR [c.c.s.S.ManagementServerCollector] (StatsCollector-1:[ctx-fd90ba07]) (logid:182faa68) Error trying to retrieve management server host statistics com.cloud.utils.exception.CloudRuntimeException: Unable to find on DB, due to: cloud - Connection is not available, request timed out after 30000ms (total=250, active=250, idle=0, waiting=22)

Is there any workaround available? Maybe switching to dbcp?

Línea de trabajo

Comienza rastreando la ejecución de la tarea en segundo plano de OOBM y su ruta de adquisición y liberación de conexiones de base de datos; el issue no especifica archivos ni pruebas concretos. Reproduce el problema con un intervalo de ejecución reducido mientras comparas las entradas de la lista de procesos de MySQL con las métricas del pool de CloudStack. Se considera completado cuando las ejecuciones repetidas de la tarea devuelven las conexiones al pool y el número de conexiones activas deja de crecer hacia el máximo configurado.
