Why is our deployment server/license master reporting "Error spawning thread...The paging file is too small for this operation to complete"?

Hi,

I have deployment server and license master on the same machine. I am getting following frequent errors in splunkd.log file

ERROR HttpListener - Error spawning thread: HTTPDispatch: about to throw a ThreadException: _beginthreadex: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.; 8000 threads active

Please provide some solution on the above error.

It's saying you have too many open files / threads. It's a common big data issue. You need to set your ulimits higher or add more servers to handle the load. I assume you have a high number of forwarders... like 8000+???

Google ulimits and you'll figure out what to do to increase the number, but the above link is just one example.
