+$MaxOpenFiles
+-------------
+
+**Available Since:** 4.3.0
+
+**Type:** global configuration parameter
+
+**Default:** *operating system default*
+
+**Description:**
+
+Set the maximum number of files that the rsyslog process can have open
+at any given time. Note that this includes open tcp sockets, so this
+setting is the upper limit for the number of open TCP connections as
+well. If you expect a large number of concurrent connections, it is
+suggested that the number is set to the max number connected plus 1000.
+Please note that each dynafile also requires up to 100 open file
+handles.
+
+The setting is similar to running "ulimit -n number-of-files".
+
+Please note that depending on permissions and operating system
+configuration, the setrlimit() request issued by rsyslog may fail, in
+which case the previous limit is kept in effect. Rsyslog will emit a
+warning message in this case.
+
+**Sample:**
+
+``$MaxOpenFiles 2000``
+
+**Bugs:**
+
+For some reason, this settings seems not to work on all platforms. If
+you experience problems, please let us know so that we can (hopefully)
+narrow down the issue.
