 checkmk - increase limit for open files



<home-directory of your site>/etc/init.d/cmc



here you find under start:



>>    # Try to raise the soft limit for open files. The Microcore needs a *lot* of open

>>    # files when you have a large number of helper processes and/or Livestatus threads

>>    # configured. Setting the soft limit to "unlimited" (i.e. the hard limit) is not a

>>    # good idea, this limit can be very high (1 M), which negatively impacts closefrom().

>>    for i in 8192 6144 4096 2048; do  # find a sane soft limit below the hard one

>>        ulimit -S -n $i 2> /dev/null && break

>>    done





>> add a 16384 before 8192 and restart your site



>> if you update to a new version, you need to check if the setting is still there ;-((





how to make sure which are the real values?

>> create a script and use it as individual check, in the script dump the limit parameters, using the command ulimit -a



>> here is such sample script, that writes the values to /tmp/ulimit.log

#!/bin/perl

system("ulimit -a >> /tmp/ulimit.log");

print "<<<check_mk>>>\n";

print "Version: pn-v2022-09-13\n";

print "<<<local>>>\n";

print "0 ulimit-openfiles - just for debug, write values to /tmp/ulimit.log\n";
