  • Item A6 needs to be checked based on the [/etc/sysctl.conf] and [SUGGEST:/etc/sysctl.conf] domains in the check_list.conf configuration file. If the parameter value in [/etc/sysctl.conf] differs from the actual value, an Abnormal message is displayed during the check of item A6. You can set the parameter in item B1. If the parameter value in [SUGGEST:/etc/sysctl.conf] differs from the actual value, a Warning message is displayed during the check of item A6. You can manually set the parameter in item B1 as needed.
  • Item A7 checks items specified by the open file parameter in the [/etc/security/ limits.conf] domain in the check_list.conf configuration file. You can set the parameter in item B2.
  • The mtu, rx, and tx parameters of item A11 need to be checked based on the [/sbin/ifconfig] domain in the check_list.conf configuration file. You can set the rx and tx parameters using item B5 and set the mtu parameter manually.
  • Use configured gs_checkos kernel parameter value and file handles parameter value to restart the new session.

OS Parameters

Table 2 OS parameters

Parameter Description Recommended Value
net.ipv4.tcp_max_tw_buckets Specifies the maximum number of TCP/IP connections concurrently remaining in the 、 TIME_WAIT state. If the number of TCP/IP connections concurrently remaining in the TIME_WAIT state exceeds the value of this parameter, the TCP/IP connections in the TIME_WAIT state will be released immediately, and alarm information will be printed. 10000
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse Reuses sockets whose status is TIME-WAIT for new TCP connections.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.		 1
net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle Rapidly reclaims sockets whose status is TIME-WAIT in TCP connections.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.		 1
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time Specifies how often Keepalived messages are sent through TCP connections when Keepalived is enabled. 30
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes Specifies the number of Keepalived detection packets sent through a TCP connection before the connection is regarded invalid. The product of the parameter value multiplied by the value of the tcp_keepalive_intvl parameter determines the response timeout duration after a Keepalived message is sent through a connection. 9
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl Specifies how often a detection packet is re-sent when the previous packets are not acknowledged. 30
net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 Specifies the maximum TCP reattempts during the connection establishment process. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries Specifies the maximum SYN packet reattempts in the TCP. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_synack_retries Specifies the maximum SYN response packet reattempts in the TCP. 5
net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 Specifies the number of times that the kernel re-sends data to a connected remote host. A smaller value leads to earlier detection of an invalid connection to the remote host, and the server can quickly release this connection.
If "connection reset by peer" is displayed, increase the value of this parameter to avoid the problem.		 12
vm.overcommit_memory Specifies the kernel check method during memory allocation.
- 0: The system accurately calculates the current available memory.
- 1: The system returns a success message without a kernel check.
- 2: The system returns a failure message if the memory size you have applied for exceeds the result of the following formula: Total memory size x Value of vm.overcommit_ratio/100 + Total SWAP size.
The default value for is 2, which is too conservative. The recommended value is 0. If memory usage is high, set this parameter to 1.		 0
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem Specifies the free memory in the TCP receiver buffer. Three memory size ranges in the unit of page are provided: min, default, and max. 8192 250000 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem Specifies the free memory in the TCP sender buffer. Three memory size ranges in the unit of page are provided: min, default, and max. 8192 250000 16777216
net.core.wmem_max Specifies the maximum size of the socket sender buffer. 21299200
net.core.rmem_max Specifies the maximum size of the socket receiver buffer. 21299200
net.core.wmem_default Specifies the default size of the socket sender buffer. 21299200
net.core.rmem_default Specifies the default size of the socket receiver buffer. 21299200
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range Specifies the range of temporary ports that can be used by a physical server. 26000-65535
kernel.sem Specifies the kernel semaphore. 250 6400000 1000 25600
vm.min_free_kbytes Specifies the minimum free physical memory reserved for unexpected page breaks. 5% of the total system memory
net.core.somaxconn Specifies the maximum length of the listening queue of each port. This is a global parameter. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies Specifies whether to enable SYN cookies to guard the OS against SYN attacks when the SYN waiting queue overflows.
- 0: The SYN cookies are disabled.
- 1: The SYN cookies are enabled.		 1
net.core.netdev_max_backlog Specifies the maximum number of data packets that can be sent to the queue when the rate at which the network device receives data packets is higher than that at which the kernel processes the data packets. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog Specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged connection requests to be recorded. 65535
net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout Specifies the default timeout duration. 60
kernel.shmall Specifies the total shared free memory of the kernel. 1152921504606846720
kernel.shmmax Specifies the maximum value of a shared memory segment. 18446744073709551615
net.ipv4.tcp_sack Specifies whether selective acknowledgment is enabled. The selective acknowledgment on out-of-order packets can increase system performance. Restricting users to sending only lost packets (for wide area networks) should be enabled, but this will increase CPU usage.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.		 1
net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps Specifies whether the TCP timestamp (12 bytes are added in the TCP packet header) enables a more accurate RTT calculation than the retransmission timeout (for details, see RFC 1323) for better performance.
- 0: This function is disabled.
- 1: This function is enabled.		 1
vm.extfrag_threshold When system memory is insufficient, Linux will score the current system memory fragments. If the score is higher than the value of vm.extfrag_threshold, kswapd triggers memory compaction. When the value of this parameter is close to 1000, the system tends to swap out old pages when processing memory fragments to meet the application requirements. When the value of this parameter is close to 0, the system tends to do memory compaction when processing memory fragments. 500
vm.overcommit_ratio When the system uses the algorithms where memory usage never exceeds the thresholds, the total memory address space of the system cannot exceed the value of swap+RAM multiplied by the percentage specified by this parameter. When the value of vm.overcommit_memory~ is set to 2, this parameter takes effect. 90
MTU Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) for a node NIC. The default value is 1500 in the OS. You can set it to 8192 to improve the performance of sending and receiving data using SCTP. 8192
