Configure the PIDs Limit

Configure Docker PID limits to prevent process exhaustion in Cortex XSOAR 6.14 containers.

Configure the PIDs limit by setting the python.pass.extra.keys advanced parameter.

1. Select Settings → About → Troubleshooting → Add Server Configuration.

2. Type the following:

   Key	Value
   python.pass.extra.keys	--pids-limit=256

3. Reset the running containers by running the following command:

   /reset_containers

4. (Optional) To test the PIDs limit, run the following command in the playground:

   !py script="from multiprocessing import Pool; p=Pool(256); print('pool started')"

   When the limit is in place, the command fails with a Python OSError. For example:
