Yes, those would be from me having issues with Nagios to connect to the service and bouncing either the Nagios service a few times, or bouncing Mariadb a few times.

I have made these changes on MariaDB and bounced MariaDB and Nagios.

Unfortunately, I still see this in the logs:
[1631293836] WARNING: RLIMIT_NPROC is 63444, total max estimated processes is 70514! You should increase your limits (ulimit -u, or limits.conf)

The WARNING: RLIMIT_NPROC can safely be ignored as it's invalid calculation. Well, it is technically a valid calculation but since nagios doesn't run every single check at the same time it is not an actual issue. This was confirmed by me with the developer who wrote that code.
