I had an issue recently in which the maximum number of inotify watches (which was set to 524288) was exceeded. Upon researching who was allocating these watches, I found these top 3 consumers:
Pid App Watches Instances
11013 uresourced 461312 1
1428145 fsnotifier 49634 1
26771 cgroupify 12699 1
Clearly, uresourced
is taking the bulk here, at 461312. fsnotifier
is a development IDE process and uses a lot normally so not too concerned with those. cgroupify
is taking quite a few too.
Is this number of watches by uresourced
and cgroupify
normal?
