my nginx stub status page says: Active connections: 284 server accepts handled requests 28762321 28762321 183603127 Reading: 1 Writing: 6 Waiting: 277 is that many in a “waiting” state okay? or is that something I should be worried about? ---

Yes, this is OK. The waiting connections are keep-alive. Here is status of one of my sites: Active connections: 45579 server accepts handled requests 268846178 268846178 638258372 Reading: 620 Writing: 576 Waiting: 44383 ---

What’s your HW for 50K active connection ? Would you please paste your system configure or optimization? There is no such system tuning sample of nginx for heavy traffic server. 2008/9/29 Igor S. [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid): ---

However, increasing vm.kmem\_size blindly will lead to unbootable machine. 1844M is probably upper limit for FreeBSD/amd64, when other kernel maps are decreased. 1400M is probably safe enough (by default kvm is 400M and this is too little). ---

Great thank you! I have put it on the nginx english wiki, the example page . So others may take it as a reference. We still need more examples on other OS and HW. Anyone who want to report your story with NGINX can reply this thread in the form of OS&HW: what operation system nginx runs on? what hardware you use ? CPU, memory, NIC. Purpose: nginx works as a web server,reverse proxy or both. Load description: how many connections? how many request per second? what CPU&MEM resources nginx use? System config: your system config or how you tune it? Nginx config: your nginx config? please remember to remove the sensitive data. 2008/9/30 Igor S.
