CentOS 6.6 - net-snmp process - Too many open files

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi gents,

I have a CentOS 6.6 install with net-snmp running. I'm using SNMPv3 Auth and Encryption with Observium polling devices every five minutes. On one of my Centos server, the net-snmp process will die after 24-36 hours of running. It seems to be hitting my system maximum file open limit which is set to 1024.

[root@mail net-snmp-5.7]# ulimit -n
1024

That number will keep increasing till it trips the 1024 limit.

[root@mail ~]# lsof -p 26907 | wc -l
1071

[root@mail net-snmp-5.7]# lsof -p 26907

It seems that CentOS is frozen to net-snmp 5.5 and I'm don't really want to use anything that I can't easily manage with "yum". The weird thing is that I have another server with the same config/CentOS version/Net-Snmp version and I have no issues with the snmp process on that server. I could raise the open file limit but that just seems unnecessary since I don't think that snmp is supposed to work that way.

Anything else I could try to troubleshoot the issue?

Thanks!
