The value of this element determines the maximum number of core process failures that can occur before a core process is disabled.

Once the core processes are disabled, the server does not launch a core process until some minimum recovery time has elapsed. Having a time lag for recovery avoids a denial-of-service action, which can happen when a faulty core consumes all CPU resources by repeatedly launching itself.

Example

<MaxFailures>2</MaxFailures>
