OS Limit - Too Many Open Files​

If you create large load tests, you may encounter the following errors:

Server Error Distribution (Count:Reason):
  199      :Get "https://getanteon.com": dial tcp 188.114.96.3:443: socket: too many open files
  159      :Get "https://getanteon.com": dial tcp 188.114.97.3:443: socket: too many open files

This is because the OS limits the number of open files. You can check the current limit by running ulimit -n command. You can increase this limit to 50000 by running the following command on both Linux and macOS.

ulimit -n 50000

But this will only increase the limit for the current session. To increase the limit permanently, you can change the shell configuration file. For example, if you are using bash, you can add the following lines to ~/.bashrc file. If you are using zsh, you can add the following lines to ~/.zshrc file.

# For .bashrc
echo "ulimit -n 50000" >> ~/.bashrc

# For .zshrc
echo "ulimit -n 50000" >> ~/.zshrc
