Type: global configuration directive
+
Default: operating system default
+
Description:
+
Set the maximum number of files that the rsyslog process can have open at any given +time. Note that this includes open tcp sockets, so this setting is the upper limit for +the number of open TCP connections as well. If you expect a large nubmer of concurrent +connections, it is suggested that the number is set to the max number connected plus 1000. +Please note that each dynafile also requires up to 100 open file handles. +
The setting is similar to running "ulimit -n number-of-files". +
Please note that depending on permissions and operating system configuration, the +setrlimit() request issued by rsyslog may fail, in which case the previous limit is kept +in effect. Rsyslog will emit a warning message in this case. +

Bugs:
