KiWi Syslogd error: Maximum number of TCP connections has been reached. Not accepting connection.
Why? Thanks..
Hello Jackkang,
Windows is limited to 3975 TCP connections open at any given time. A connection is used for every syslog message forwarded.
You will need to either change your "Forward to another host" action to use UDP or increase the number of TCP connections that can be handled and/or decrease the Wait Times for TCP connections. These are Windows options. More on this is found here:
SolarWinds Knowledge Base :: Why does the NETSTAT -A command list so many TCP/IP connections?
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Chris Foley
Thank you very much. I will try UDP. Could you please tell me the transfer performance when using UDP and TCP? Thanks!
My understanding is that UDP is faster because it has no inherent error checking.
Thank you for your help!
