Plenty close_wait

[Joshua Zhu]

Hi!

Were those connections opened by nginx or your own application? In
most cases, long duration of CLOSE_WAIT suggests that there might be a
bug, i.e., someone forgot to close(1) the socket after use.

P.S. You can visit

for more details of the CLOSE_WAIT state.

Cheers!
