Add a udp option to expect no answers #4

Closed ap-wtioit closed 3 years ago

ap-wtioit commented 3 years ago

When using the image with syslog servers (e.g. graylog) the current udp mode forks a process for every connection made to the container. Those forked processes wait indefinitely for an answer from the syslog server and fill up the connection limit with every restarted odoo worker.

With this added option (UDP_NO_ANSWERS) one can configure the instance to not expect any answers and prevent this problem.
