Bootstrap check failure [1] of [1]: max file descriptors [4096] for elasticsearch process is too low

CentOS 7

SonarQube 9.1

I success run sonarqube by user opencm like this:

./sonar.sh start

Nice.

Now I want to autostart sonar after reboot linux.

So I create file etc/systemd/system/sonar.service :

[Unit]
Description=Gilat R&D Sonarqube Server Daemon
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/home/opencm/sonarqube-9.1.0.47736/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh start
ExecReload=/home/opencm/sonarqube-9.1.0.47736/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh restart
ExecStop=/home/opencm/sonarqube-9.1.0.47736/bin/linux-x86-64/sonar.sh stop

Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10

User=opencm
Group=opencm

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
# systemctl enable sonar.service

But after reboot linux I get the next sonarqube error:



2021.11.23 12:00:09 INFO  app[][o.s.a.SchedulerImpl] Waiting for Elasticsearch to be up and running

And this:

Hello @a_subscriber and welcome to the community :wave:

i would recommand that you check the requirements, and the documentation how to run sonarqube using systemd.

hope that helps :slight_smile:

This help

If you are using systemd to start SonarQube, you must specify those limits inside your unit file in the section [service] :

[Service]

LimitNOFILE=131072
LimitNPROC=8192
