 > Ah ha! I see these messages now in the snowflake broker logs:

 Good find. I'm looking now, and
 {{{
 # lsof -n -p $(pidof broker) | grep -c IPv
 1019
 # ulimit -n
 1024
 }}}

 In /etc/runit/snowflake-broker/run, we're running the broker via
 [http://smarden.org/runit/chpst.8.html chpst]. I've just added `-o 32768`
 to the command to raise the limit on open files and restarted the process
 with `sv restart snowflake-broker` at 2019-09-12 14:19:00.
