INC connections from secondary nodes also show up as connections in the DB_PROPERTY function output.
For example, from the coordinator, run the system function DB_PROPERTY as follows:
SELECT db_property('conncount')
This function returns the number of client connections and the number of INC connections made by the secondary nodes to the coordinator. The INC connections do not affect the number of connections (set by startup parameter -gm) that can be made to the coordinator node.
