Is that something that can be modified manually? The value associated , 64, seems quiet low. </P> Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:01:10 GMT mzorzi 2010-09-10T23:01:10Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/maxfiles-in-limits-conf/m-p/47974#M565 <P>I can see the maxfiles parameter in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/default/limits.conf for Splunk 4.1.4 , but it is not described anywhere not even in the limits.conf.spec.</P> <P>Is it the same than max_fds ?

It should not be necessary to increase this parameter.</P> Fri, 10 Sep 2010 23:35:27 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Monitoring-Splunk/maxfiles-in-limits-conf/m-p/47975#M566 gkanapathy 2010-09-10T23:35:27Z
