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. + |
