Troubleshooting

• Running prowler I get [File: utils.py:15] [Module: utils] CRITICAL: path/redacted: OSError[13]:

  That is an error related to file descriptors or opened files allowed by your operating system.

  In macOS Ventura the default value for the file descriptors is 256. With the following command ulimit -n 1000 you'll increase that value and solve the issue.

  If you have a different OS and you are experiencing the same, please increase the value of your file descriptors. You can check it running ulimit -a | grep "file descriptors".

  This error is also related with a lack of system requirements. To improve performance Prowler stores information in memory so it may need to be run in a system with more than 1GB of memory.
