WARNING: RLIMIT_NPROC

Post by steph007 »

Hi,

I have this warning in my Nagios log:
WARNING: RLIMIT_NPROC is 31329, total max estimated processes is 46568! You should increase your limits (ulimit -u, or limits.conf).

On this forum I've seen problem fixed by disable Deadpool, but it's already disable.
I have see problem that can be related to mysql connection, but event after change the default of 151 to 800, it's change nothing.
I still have the issues.
Where I can look next?

What OS and release is the Nagios server running?
What version of Nagios XI is the server running?

Edit the following file

Code: Select all

/etc/security/limits.conf
Add the following to increase the limit for nproc.

Code: Select all

*          soft     nproc          65535
*          hard     nproc          65535
Reboot the server and see if the issue goes away.
