Process Naming

proc_name

• -n STRING, --name STRING
• None

A base to use with setproctitle for process naming.

This affects things like ps and top. If you’re going to be running more than one instance of Gunicorn you’ll probably want to set a name to tell them apart. This requires that you install the setproctitle module.

If not set, the default_proc_name setting will be used.

default_proc_name

• gunicorn

Internal setting that is adjusted for each type of application.
