nginx: worker process is shutting down
Published: March 26, 2026 - 3:06 PM
Good morning,
On our WAPT server, the nginx services saturate the RAM (Memory: 10.6G (peak: 11.4G)), the nginx processes fall.
How to optimize the nginx service?
I followed the recommendations below https://www.wapt.fr/fr/doc/wapt-server- ... ation.html.
The /var partition is not full. On Red Hat, the nginx directories are in /var/lib/nginx/tmp/proxy/.
In addition:
curl http://127.0.0.1/nginx_status
Active connections: 1883
server accepts handled requests
129746 129746 133154
Reading: 0 Writing: 1880 Waiting: 3
Red Hat Server 9.7
Wapt Enterprise 2.6.1.17765
Thank you for your help
