Proposed Changes

Related issue: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/issues/3598

As a general best practice with gunicorn webapps, it's a good idea to recycle the worker processes. This is done by using max_requests in the gunicorn config. It should be paired with max_requests_jitter to prevent all the gunicorn workers from being restarted at nearly the same time.

I'd like to add these parameters to this section of the docs:
https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/blob/develop/docs/installation/3-http-daemon.md#gunicorn-installation

command = '/usr/bin/gunicorn'
pythonpath = '/opt/netbox/netbox'
bind = '127.0.0.1:8001'
workers = 3
user = 'www-data'
max_requests = 1000
max_requests_jitter = 200

This is good idea!
How about add the link to gunicorn docs also?
