Increase MongoDB maximum number of connections

Question

I am getting some errors on MongoDB side, the error is complaining that it reached the max allowed connections.

Wondering if there is anyway to increase the max number of allowed connections.

Check the MongoDB documentation:

http://www.mongodb.org/

use this command line argument:

--maxConns arg       max number of simultaneous connections
