THANKS! I could not find that in any of the documentation (but I may have
missed it). My server is getting swamped causing a whole lot of php-fpm to
run. I am now running a script every minute that restarts php-fpm if the
server load is over 50%. A major source of the load appears to be
ByteDance, so another daily script blocks all IP addresses with the
ByteDance bot. Next in line appears to be Amazon Web Services. I'm working
on blocking them.
