Bug ID: 62924 Summary: tomcat-users.xml has open file descriptors and opens tomcat-users.xml all the time Product: Tomcat 9 Version: 9.0.13 Hardware: Other OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: Manager Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org Reporter: si...@yahoo.com Target Milestone: ----- Hi everybody Since tomcat 9.0.13 and the ability to monitor "tomcat-users.xml" was introduced we encounter quite strange behaviour: we run into "too many files open" exception after a certain time when tomcat is running. nothing changed on the apps which run on this instance, except the version of tomcat (from 9.0.12 to 9.0.13) I found now the following strange thing: when doing "lsof" on the PID runnning tomcat, I see: [gtt@tgttcn0:~/tomcat/logs:1061> lsof -p 16829 | grep tomcat-users | wc -l 260 a couple of seconds later: [gtt@tgttcn0:~/tomcat/logs:1062> lsof -p 16829 | grep tomcat-users | wc -l 262 and about 20 seconds later: [gtt@tgttcn0:~/tomcat/logs:1062> lsof -p 16829 | grep tomcat-users | wc -l 264 and nothing is really going on on the tomcat at the moment. It looks like something is opening tomcat-users.xml all the time and does not close it anymore.... Here the same "lsof" command on one of our servers running tomcat 9.0.12: [gtt@pgttcn1:~:1008> lsof -p 26572 | grep tomcat-users | wc -l 0 thanks for having a look into this Erich -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@tomcat.apache.org
