System had been up and running for a solid month (save for the downtime to upgrade to 0.4.0), until today, with no problems.  This morning, we noted an inability to reach the Vault servers, and upon checking the logs, we saw a large amount of errors of type \"too many open files\":\r\n\r\n```16:48:52 http: Accept error: accept tcp [::]:8200: accept4: too many open files; retrying in 1s```\r\n\r\nWe were able to rectify the issue simply by restarting vault (which in itself transitioned the master unit to our backup vault master machine, so that failover worked very well), but are working to find a solution to this problem.  We noted that this appears to be a Consul connections limit issue (see: https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/688), but were hoping some on here may have run into this issue.  Any thoughts?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hashicorp/vault/issues/comments/165206535","html_url":"https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/issues/867#issuecomment-165206535","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/hashicorp/vault/issues/867","id":165206535,"user":{"login":"brockoffdev","id":7755918,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7755918?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev","html_url":"https://github.com/brockoffdev","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/brockoffdev/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-16T18:38:45Z","updated_at":"2015-12-16T18:38:45Z","body":"Thanks @jefferai appreciate the help, btw!\r\n\r\nNope vault user is by far using the most connections.
