[rabbitmq-discuss] gradual increase of File descriptors reaching-1024 (max limit)

[Jay G]

Hi All,
Am new to rabbitmq and I have built a 3 node rabbitmq cluster. the cluster
was build a week back and I already see a gradual increase in the # of File
descriptor used, which is now slowly reaching the max limit (1024)

On reading more about this, I know this limit can be increased by changing
the ulimit to XXXX in /etc/default/rabbitmq-server.

But before I increase this, which will need service restart,
What is the possible reason for this gradual increase?
Is there a way to find out if there is a connection leak?

Thank you!

Jay
