Graphite carbon-cache IOError with too many open files

When running carbon-cache daemon, clients are seeing errors such as connection refused by the daemon, a common reason for this is setting small number of file descriptors.

/var/log/carbon/console.log file, there may be

exceptions.IOError: [Errno 24] Too many open files: '/var/lib/graphite/whisper/systems/<host_name>/<metric_name>.wsp'

The number of files carbon-cache daemon can open should be increased. Many Linux systems set file descriptors to a maximum of 1024 as default. A value of 16384 may be good enough depending on how many clients are simultaneously connecting to the carbon-cache daemon.

In Linux, sysctl and ulimit programs can be used to set system-wide resource use.

Creating Multiple VLANs over Bonding Interfaces with Proper Routing on a Centos Linux Host

In this post, I am going to explain configuring multiple VLANs on a bond interface. First and foremost, I would like to describe the environment and give details of the infrastructure. The server has 4 Ethernet links to a layer 3 switch with names: enp3s0f0, enp3s0f1, enp4s0f0, enp4s0f1 There are two bond interfaces both configured as active-backup bond0, bond1 enp4s0f0 and enp4s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond0. Bond0 is for making ssh connections and management only so corresponding switch ports are not configured in trunk mode. enp3s0f0 and enp3s0f1 interfaces are bonded as bond1. Bond1 is for data and corresponding switch ports are configured in trunk mode. Bond0 is the default gateway for the server and has IP address 10.1.10.11 Bond1 has three subinterfaces with VLAN 4, 36, 41. IP addresses are 10.1.3.11, 10.1.35.11, 10.1.40.11 respectively. Proper communication with other servers on the network we should use routing tables. There are three
