### <a id="check-fork-errors"></a> Check Fork Errors
We've learned that newer kernel versions introduce a [fork limit for cgroups](https://lwn.net/Articles/663873/)
which is enabled in SLES 12 SP2+ for example. The default value
for `DefaultTasksMax` in Systemd is set to `512`.
Icinga 2 relies on forking child processes to execute commands
and might therefore hit this limit in larger setups.
The error message could look like this:
2017-01-12T11:55:40.742685+01:00 icinga2-master1 kernel: [65567.582895] cgroup: fork rejected by pids controller in /system.slice/icinga2.service
In order to solve the problem, increase the value for `DefaultTasksMax`
or set it to `infinity`:
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /]# vim /usr/lib/systemd/system/icinga2.service
[Service]
DefaultTasksMax=infinity
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /]# systemctl daemon-reload
[root@icinga2-master1.localdomain /]# systemctl restart icinga2
Please note that this setting is available since Systemd version 226.
