The latter. We can actually see the 4096 fds are used (by port 8080 in CLOSE_WAIT state...). Well, we're pretty sure that the fds actually are the connections from the HTTPConnector of Tomcat. The connector is set to use 200 connections simultaneously. So the question is: Why aren't those connections closed?...

Is it browsers, or a load balancer or stuff like that? We have NGINX as a proxy in front of the tomcat (on another server). So request from the Internet arrive at NGINX and are then forwarded to the tomcat(s). By now, we're pretty happy with NGINX, since it is really fast and has low footprint, but could well be that it does not work well with tomcat. We have the problems with our live servers, so the application, which actually is initiating the connection is a browser. > > 3) Are you using keep alive (not implying that's the cause of your > problems, but keep alive makes the connection live cycle much more > complicated from the container point of view). As far as I understood NGINX, we only use keep alive request for the communication between client and NGINX. The communication between NGINX and tomcat does not have settings for keep alive, so I assume: no. This is the relevant part of the NGINX configuration: location / { proxy_pass http://verwandt_de; proxy_redirect off; proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; client_max_body_size 10m; client_body_temp_path /var/nginx/client_body_temp; proxy_buffering off; proxy_store off; proxy_connect_timeout 30; proxy_send_timeout 80; proxy_read_timeout 80; } So any suggestions that I should move the topic forward to some NGINX mailing list?
