Description

Kapacitor instance is having about 100 tasks and after running for about one week all task related queries becoming slow.

new task **define** or **disable** taking about **3 mins**,

it is running on Redhat , 64 GB ram, InfluxDB having about 12 databases and some 500 measurements.

if required, I can get trace output, tried to read myself but were not seeing anything other than **System Resource not available** for some of the threads, but nothing was mentioned about what resources it is looking for.

Otherwise system utilization looks all good.

Anyone having any clue ? any configuration changes or any unix level settings need to do ?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the slow define, disable, enable, and delete operations with the reported task and database scale, then collect the trace output suggested in the issue. Investigate the reported “System Resource not available” messages; done means identifying the bottleneck and documenting or resolving the cause of the multi-minute operations.
