Short Description:

maximum number of sessions reached

It is important to note where the directive to increase the connection limit is placed. It must be placed AFTER the module that handles the connections is loaded. If you place it in front of it, you will see an error message (if you look for them ) but the directive does not work. For example (with imtcp):

This does work:

$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPMaxSessions 1000 # Maximum TCP sessions (default 200)

while this does NOT work:

$InputTCPMaxSessions 1000 # Maximum TCP sessions (default 200)
$ModLoad imtcp
