Open file limits not increased for redis user despite change in /etc/security/limits.conf
I got
ERR max number of clients reached
from my redis server so I decidied to increase the allowed max client connections in its configuration. This also requires according to the documentation, to increase the respective open file limits for the user.
So I made the following changes:
$ grep maxclient /etc/redis/redis.conf
maxclients 100000
$ grep redis /etc/security/limits.conf
redis - nofile 100000
Then I did systemctl restart redis-server
However, when I check the limits for the redis-server process which is run by the system user redis, the max allowed files report something else:
$ ps -u redis
PID TTY TIME CMD
21168 ? 00:00:22 redis-server
$ grep 'open files' /proc/21168/limits
Max open files 4096 4096 files
Do I need to reboot the machine for the changes to take effect? Or is it something else?

/etc/security/limits.conf is the configuration file for the pam_limits PAM module. It only affects users logging in with PAM, not services started in other ways.
You'll need to configure systemd to change the limits on the processes it starts, see e.g. How to set ulimits on service with systemd? on how to do that.
