Right now we do a HTTP call to
/hello Copy code
Liveness probe failed: Get "http://10.244.1.77:3567/hello": context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)r

09/14/2022, 10:13 AMthis is the correct way. How often are you querying it? What is the server pool size config? And how much is the response timeout set to when querying it?

09/14/2022, 10:13 AMWe do a similar check for out managed service instances and we run these /hello queries every min on each instance. No problem like this has happened for us

09/14/2022, 10:16 AMokay, good to hear that hello is the "recommended" way of doing these checks, it would be nice if this was documented

09/14/2022, 10:16 AMFair enough. Will add that to our todos. Or you can even contribute it to our docs 😇
rp_st
09/14/2022, 10:17 AMOh and by the way, a hello api call also makes sure that the core is connected to the db correctly. So if the db is down, hello will fail as well
rp_st
09/14/2022, 10:17 AMOr if there is an issue between the core and db’s connection

rp_st
09/14/2022, 10:18 AMShould probably add it in the page that talks about running with docker

09/14/2022, 10:22 AMand also the db connection hanging/timping out will most likely be the issue on our side! Thank you again for these infos!
