Bitbucket to many open files

[Михаил Малиновкин]

Hello,

I found in atlassian-bitbucket.log messages : "to many open files...."

In what file in application should i add "ulimit -v unlimited" ?

I read this article https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/loss-of-functionality-due-to-too-many-open-files-errors-156862102.html but didnt undestand about bitbucket

It might be worth checking to ensure you are not impacted by this bug: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BSERV-10575

If you are not running on a version of Bitbucket that contains a fix it is worth upgrading.

You need to go to /(home directoy)/atlassian-bitbucket-5.16.0/bin/ and edit the "_start-webapp.sh" file. 

MAX_OPEN_FILES=4096

[Tahir Bhat]

Add these lines to your /etc/security.limits.conf

atlbitbucket soft nofile 4096
atlbitbucket hard nofile 4096

Hi @Михаил Малиновкин,

This can be set in multiple ways - in

/etc/security/limits.conf

.bashrc 

or running the command itself in the prompt, but this option might not be permanent.

Hi? thanks for your answer. 

Can i add this parameter (ulimit -v unlimited) maybe in this files of application:

start-bitbucket.sh

_start-webapp.sh

?

Not entirely sure since it is setting the value for the service that's running Bitbucket. And it is looking to read it from the environment. 

bitbucket           soft    nofile          unlimited
bitbucket           hard    nofile          unlimited

[Михаил Малиновкин]

Thanks a lot. I will try this parameters.
