supervisord autorestart max tries?

Question

http://supervisord.org/configuration.html#program-x-section-values says you can use autorestart=true to restart on exit, but doesn't say how to give a maximum amount of restarts (within startsecs) before giving up. Is there a way to do this? Note: I'm not talking about the first startup, but about the event that a program crashes after, say, running fine for 10 days.

According to the docs, autorestart doesn't care about startretries:

autorestart controls whether supervisord will autorestart a program if it exits after it has successfully started up (the process is in the RUNNING state).

supervisord has a different restart mechanism for when the process is starting up (the process is in the STARTING state). Retries during process startup are controlled by startsecs and startretries.

Answer 1

You should use startretries as well, ex of program configuration:

[program:consumer_example]
command=command example
process_name=%(program_name)s_%(process_num)02d 
numprocs=1                                      
autostart=true
autorestart=true
startretries=10
user=USERNAME

As you can see I used startretries with 10, when you not inform into program it uses the default value (3).

Answer 2

I think that you need is to use the startretries parameter..
