Are you out of ptys?  What are your kctune(1m) kernel parms for: npty and nstrpty

And what is your kcusage(1m) values for those parms?

this is it:

Hmm, that's not close to 60 or your 665 ssh connections.

Looking at fork(2), indicates EAGAIN if too many processes total (nproc 665 / 4200) or too many per user (maxuprc 281 / 256).

>I have checked there are many ssh connection about 665 ssh connection. How to fix this problem?

Are these all by one (or a few) users?

>maxuprc usage greater than configured.

Right, that looks like the problem.  You should be able to use kctune(1m) to increase it.

-> Are these all by one (or a few) users?
all connection by one user. this server used for monitoring dashboard and there are many ssh process from other server to this server to put data for monitoring

currently, i have increased this parameter to 4096.

many thankss, let me monitor this changes.
