It's sometimes display ok, and some time there is warning display as below

fork/exec /bin/sh: too many open files

facing this issue too in a dashboard with 21 items that have been running for several hours on a raspberry pi

the sampling commands are all only using cat, sampling at the rate of 1000ms .. increasing ulimits -n to 15k does not help
