Description

during policy generation, I got the following error

com.normation.rudder.services.policies.ParallelSequence - Failure in boxToEither: Error when trying to open template 'TechniqueResourceIdByName(inventory/1.0,test-inventory.pl)'. Check that the file exists with a .st extension and is correctly commited in Git, or that the metadata for the technique are corrects.

soon after, the webapp crashed, as it couldn't load anymore css
It turned out that the ulimit were
[root@server webapp]# ulimit -Hn
4096
[root@server webapp]# ulimit -Sn
1024

pushing them to 8192 solved the issue

Not sure what to do about that. It's major, because no way an user can find it by himself.

Perhaps we just need a "Sanity check" method with a bunch or parameters checked (for ex at boot, or to use in a page) with:

- ulimit
- free disk space
- etc

Just the check method and ulimit/free space to add in a log should be very short.
