Hi, I use pdns-recursor (4.1.2-1pdns.xenial, Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS), it serves 700 qps. Several times a day the over-capacity-drops counter increases to 12 qps at this time the concurrent-queries counter does not increase. Please tell me the reasons for this phenomenon and how to eliminate it.

Concurrent-queries is just a point in time reference and it can change wildly between when you grab your other metrics.

With such low QPS I'd just do a tcpdump and reference when it happens. You should see a thousand or more uncached queries being sent from something which would be what ends up causing the over capacity drops.

concurrent-queries > threads*mtasker count = over-capacity-drops

The typical reasons for this are (a) lots of clients that have their own cache - and they refresh some common name all at the same time when the TTL expires or (b) abusive traffic.
