ulimit not reflected for jenkins slave
- by techastute
Problem
Got java.io.IOException: Too many open files in solr indexing through jenkins.
Did some googling and found we have to set the ulimit for the box in where we are running the job.
So set the ulimit in a linux box with spec
Linux x86_64 GNU/Linux
in both of the following fashions
ulimit -n 1000000
/etc/security/limits.conf
userx soft nofile 1000000
userx hard nofile 1000000
Given
userx is the user through which the jenkins job is being executed.
when doing ssh to the box as userx manually through terminal and check ulimit -n am getting 10000000
Question
But when executing the same ulimit -n through a jenkins job, only getting 1024 which is the default.
Any advice would be much helpful?
