Colleagues of mine have communicated that this has been seen in the past due to interaction between the Spectrum Scale performance monitor (zimon) and Grafana.  Are you using Grafana?  Normally zimon is configured to use local port 9094 so if that is the port which the CLOSE_WAIT is attached then it would seem to be an instance of this problem.  You can use the following to check for this condition.
 
netstat -ntp | grep "\:9094 .*CLOSE_WAIT" | wc -l

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [gpfsug-discuss] Thousands of CLOSE_WAIT IPV6 connections on CES
Date: Fri, Feb 21, 2020 9:30 AM
 

Dear all,

I was wondering if anybody recently encountered a similar issue (I found a related thread from 2018, but it was inconclusive). I just found that one of our production CES nodes have 28k CLOSE_WAIT tcp6 connections, I do not understand why... the second node in the same cluster does not have this issue. Both are:

- GPFS 5.0.4.2

- RHEL 7.4

has anybody else encountered anything similar? In the last few days it seems it happened once on one node, and twice on the other, but never on both...

Thanks for any feedback!

cheers

leo
