The issue lies in the way `gunicorn` tracks worker processes (vs `uwsgi`) which helps manage the metrics files created by the above configurations. If you're using Netbox with gunicorn in a containerized enviroment following the one-process-per-container methodology, then you will likely not need to change to `uwsgi`.
