Morning,
I keep my promise and provide you with the two simple blocks that are needed to implement limits that we discussed in article http://log-it.tech/2017/10/16/ubuntu-change-ulimit-kafka-not-ignore/
For the limits module you can use:
https://forge.puppet.com/puppetlabs/limits
As for the actual puppet implementation, I took the decision not to restart the service immediately. This being said, it’s dead simple to do it:
file_line {"add_pamd_record":
path => '/etc/pam.d/common-session',
line => 'session required pam_limits.so'
}
limits::fragment {
"*/soft/nofile":
value => "100000";
"*/hard/nofile":
value => "100000";
"kafka/soft/nofile":
value => "100000";
"kafka/hard/nofile":
value => "100000";
}
This is all you need.
Cheers
