I have an emqtt instance installed on gcloud. I have to modify the maximum number of file descriptors for erlang vm. I have already made all the changes for the host VM but can't seem to figure out how I would change max_fds for the emqtt vm. There is no argument in /etc/emqttd/emq.conf that I can tweak.
The command emqtt_ctl vm io gives me the output below:
$ emqttd_ctl vm io
io/max_fds : 1024
io/active_fds : 0
I want to change io/max_fds here.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can't change max_fds in Erlang. Maximum of opened file descriptors is usually set by ulimit -n from the shell (parent process).
