Hi, We had similar problem before, but I am not sure if it is related to your case. The file descriptors that were opened by the ns-slapd process was all in a CLOSE_WAIT state. You can try execute "netstat -anput | grep CLOSE_WAIT" and see if there's a lot of dangling CLOSE_WAIT socket opened by ns-slapd. If that was the case, I suggest you to update to the latest version of 389 directory because that has been fixed. This is the bugzilla ticket that I submitted awhile back. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567429 - David 2010/8/28 Andrey Ivanov <andrey.ivanov at polytechnique.fr> > Hi, > > You can try to change the following parameters to reduce the timeouts of > the connections : > * system parameters (reduce keepalive time to 700 seconds): > echo "net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = > 700" >> /etc/sysctl.conf > sysctl -p > * 389 parameters in cn=config (change the maximum time limit per search > operation to 120 sec & set idle connection timeout to 600 sec): > nsslapd-timelimit: 120 > nsslapd-idletimeout: 600 > > The file descriptor number used by a connecton can be seen in access log > (fd=139) : > [28/Aug/2010:14:35:08 +0200] conn=58377 fd=139 slot=139 SSL connection from > x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x > > You may also use /logconv.pl utility to see the long requests, number of > parallel/oncurrent connections and file descriptor usage ('Highest FD > taken') > Total Connections: 2855 > Peak Concurrent Connections: 4 > Total Operations: 157116 > Total Results: 157139 > Overall Performance: 100.0% > ... > FDs Taken: 3112 > FDs Returned: 3112 > Highest FD Taken: 143 > ... > ----- Top 20 Most Frequent etimes ----- > > 156965 etime=0 > 58 etime=1 > 58 etime=3 > 58 etime=2 > > > @+ > > 2010/8/27 Angel Bosch Mora <angbosch at conselldemallorca.net> > > hi, >> >> i had problems with "too many fds open" on some instances and after >> digging a bit i've found that ns-slapd dont die. >> >> i got 5 similar installations and this is happening just in two of them >> and i can't identify what is about. >> >> >> i've been recollecting process informations and i know for sure that the >> only process that keep increasing is ns-slapd and eventually, after some >> weeks, 389 starts refusing new connections and i got the "too many fds open" >> message. >> >> i can increase max fds but the problem of processes keeping alive is still >> there. >> >> anyone facing similar situation? >> >> regards, >> >> abosch >> -- >> 389 users mailing list >> 389-users at lists.fedoraproject.org >> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users >> > > > -- > 389 users mailing list > 389-users at lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/389-users > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
