Using PUT for data entry causes fatal error

Thanks Terry, I hope so too, the soft limit was at 1024 yet the hard limit is 1048576. This greatly confused me.
I've got 7800 points, though I do wonder if this means the cap gets hit really quick if I have 1000000 files open which are scattered across a few thousand points. I'm not overly familiar with the structure.of the NoSql DB.
After reviewing my settings I've managed to get the soft limit at 65535 and maintained the same hard limit. Part of me wonders if that limit should be higher...Sorry to be difficult

Hi, Matt
I am just curious about your hardware configuration in this case. Is it a HTS or Mango running on your own Linux box?Victor
-
Virtual dedicated cloud server,
To test to be sure I've used prlimit to set mango's file open limits just to be certain of limits. I'm finding for some stupid reason when I logged in before, ulimit maxes were back at 4096. Wish it'd make up its stupid mind... I may have to restart mango to make it use the new limits i've set in /etc/security/limits.conf but if this continues to work with no issue after setting the process limit perhaps I'll be ok...

Just crashed again, mango is still working in the background, got 11500 files open.
Web service crashed, cannot view dashboard, cannot access mango from browser,
API not talking either...Shoot!
EDIT: Looks like the API keeps dropping in and out. CPU is high. Perhaps it's time to upgrade the machine's CPUs and memory.... Just managed to click back in to the dashboard...
EDIT 2: Have upgraded CPU to 6 cores now. Things appear to be running much smoother now. Will monitor and wait/see how things transpire now.
-
curious for 7800 points how often are they read from the datasources, how often are they logged to disk, and how much RAM are you allowing for the JVM on the 6 core CPU?
-
8g at the moment.
I've allowed for more processes to run so mango doesn't just sit still chewing ram.
I've yet to see it climb that high though. Higher CPU usage appears to be the culprit at the moment. -
Just crashed again an hour ago.... -_-!
Cannot see any .hprof files anywhere...I'm emailing logs now.

@MattFox I assume this was handled via support?
-
Correct, I'll post my fixes here once I've implemented them if that's helpful

I've just had this error come up again. The file open limit is obscenely high for hard limits so I need to know what are the best settings for Mango to ensure it's not crashing with too many files open. I really could do with some advice for tuning the system. Things are not running as nice as they were with earlier versions...

Have learned that systemd uses a different set of rules from the OS itself. Despite all of my settings, systemd still loaded mango with the default of 4096 max open files.
Inside/etc/systemd/system/I had to create the directory/etc/systemd/system/mango.service.dthen inside thatoverride.conf
In override conf I had to add[Service] LimitNOFILE=65536So now here is hoping I stop getting these errors... In the meantime I used prlimit -p [pid] -n4096:65536 to keep things going.
EDIT: still had to change to -n65536:65536 since even at the soft limit mango was throwing these errors...
