app and limits.conf

[human96]

I want to control the number of concurrent user searches on an app-by-app basis.

I think it is possible to control the number of concurrent executions on a role-by-role basis, but is it possible to control on an app-by-app basis?

If control is possible on an app-by-app basis, please tell me how to control it.

(I think it is feasible by distributing limits.conf (base_max_searches) under App.)

Concurrent searches can be controlled using base_max_searches and max_searches_per_cpu. But those are global settings only as mentioned by @isoutamo It would be better to restrict the users based on roles and apply the limits globally. Creating roles based on apps can become a complex job for managing roles, current and future users, current and future apps as well.

Hi

Quite many attribute on limits.conf are global not local for app. Also this is global. At least I don’t know any easy way to do it. Basically you could create app based roles which have this value, but if user has many roles then he/she will get the highest value for all apps.
