Started to build the Graylog server with Elasticsearch on a RHEL 6.6 vm machine with 2 cores and 4GB of RAM.
Installation went fine and after a period i could access the web interface. Straight when i log in i get a flickering number 3 above the panel. One of those errors are: Elasticsearch nodes with too low open file limit There are Elasticsearch nodes in the cluster that have a too low open file limit (current limit: *4096* on *jean.domain.com* should be at least 64000) This will be causing problems that can be hard to diagnose. Read how to raise the maximum number of open files in the Elasticsearch setup documentation. <http://www.graylog2.org/resources/documentation/setup/elasticsearch> So of course i started to read how i could fix this error. So i added fs.file-max = 65536 to /etc/sysctl.conf, but also * soft nproc 65535 * hard nproc 65535 * soft nofile 65535 * hard nofile 65535 to /etc/security/limits.conf and rebooted the system. Once it has been booted i checked if everything was set with ulimit -a: core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 0 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 30490 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 65535 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 10240 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 65535 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited And it looks like it has been set. I can reach the web panel, but after login, the message is still there and although i can click it away, it comes back straight again. So i tried a few other stuff, like adding ULIMIT_N=65535 and a bunch of others, but it still gives me the error. What am i doing wrong? Does anyone know how i can remove the error. I want to show it to my boss, but it looks silly with that error on it :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "graylog2" group.
