Description Chris Duryee 2018-06-06 22:11:43 UTC

Description of problem:

Users commonly need to set limits.conf for httpd and qdrouterd. It should be possible to do this via custom-hiera.yaml, so users don't have to manage the files in a one-off way.

Typical settings are:

# cat /etc/systemd/system/httpd.service.d/limits.conf
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=640000

# cat /etc/systemd/system/qdrouterd.service.d/limits.conf
[Service]
LimitNOFILE=301000

NOTE: I would recommend that these files not be created by default, but only if the user requests it via puppet. Some users may set their limits via other means already, and it would cause a lot of confusion if we interfered with that on a default install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.3.1

Please also allow setting of LimitNOFILE for /etc/systemd/system/qpidd.service.d/limits.conf

Comment 2 Stephen Benjamin 2018-07-23 17:37:07 UTC

Qpid should already be possible in 6.3:

qpid::open_file_limit: 10000
qpid::router::open_file_limit: 301000

See https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-qpid/blob/master/manifests/router/service.pp and https://github.com/theforeman/puppet-qpid/blob/master/manifests/service.pp

Thank you for your interest in Satellite 6. We have evaluated this request, and while we recognize that it is a valid request, we do not expect this to be implemented in the product in the foreseeable future. This is due to other priorities for the product, and not a reflection on the request itself. We are therefore closing this out as WONTFIX. If you have any concerns about this, please do not reopen. Instead, feel free to contact Red Hat Technical Support. Thank you.
