[Oisf-users] Couple of questions regarding stats.log

This may be caused by another option that is only mentioned in the
comment block above the stream settings in your yaml:

#   max-sessions: 262144        # 256k concurrent sessions
#   prealloc-sessions: 32768    # 32k sessions prealloc'd

Max sessions puts a limit to the max number of concurrent tcp sessions
tracked.

Try setting it to something like:

stream:
  max-sessions: 1000000
  prealloc-sessions: 500000

Or something :)
