Configure ulimit on other init systems
The ulimit controls the number of processes and file handles that a PE service user can open and process.
To increase the ulimit for a PE service user:
- Open the
limits.conf
file located at:/etc/security/limits.conf
- Add these lines to the file, specifying the specific service user's name and the
desired ulimit value:
<PE_SERVICE_USER> soft nofile <VALUE> <PE_SERVICE_USER> hard nofile <VALUE>
For example, this configuration sets the ulimit value to 32,678 for the
pe-puppet
service user:pe-puppet soft nofile 32678 pe-puppet hard nofile 32678
