max_user_watches set too low for cxswatch to start in CSF

[subtopic]

My machine says this.

Unable to start cxs Watch daemon: /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches is set too low [currently:8192]. You need to have your VPS provider increase this value."

My host provider says this.

This error is the cause of the failure. We cannot change that parameter on the VPS platform.

With cxswatch not working, does that make CSF useless, or disabled?

Thank you.

Maybe the better question is, does it make csx uslesss? Or disable half of it's usefulness?

Hi @subtopic


This is related to ConfigServer eXploit Scanner, not ConfigServer Firewall so no it doesn't make CSF useless. In regard to the issue you may have better luck with answers for this specific question over at ConfigServer's forums here: ConfigServer Community Forum - Index page

It does look like others have had similar issues Unable to start cxs Watch daemon - Page 2 - ConfigServer Community Forum

Thanks!
