Since I am using dovecot 2.3.X I got the following messages
/var/log/dovecot-20180930:Sep 28 17:33:38 balcha dovecot: master:
Warning: service(stats): client_limit (1000) reached, client connections
are being dropped
Users complain the system became slow.
I happen when dovecot/imap process grows above 1000.
With 2.2.X no default were defined (#default_client_limit = 1000) and I
have no such log and no performance problems.
With 2.3.3 I first increase default_client_limit to 4096
but the following message come again when dovecot/imap grow above
4096
=====Nov 6 12:09:12 balcha dovecot: master: Warning: service(stats):
client_limit (4096) reached, client connections are being dropped
Nov 6 12:09:25 balcha dovecot: imap: Error:
net_connect_unix(/var/run/dovecot//stats-writer) failed: Resource
temporarily unavailable
... many same lines as above
=====
Now 8192 solve my problem
default_client_limit = 8192
I don't understand why the first Warning is related to service(stats)
instead of service(imap)
and why the socket stats-writer became temporarily unavailable
