Global Timeouts

Global Timeouts set the global server timeouts for HTTP request and response streams.

You can set also set route-level timeouts.

Read Timeout

Read Timeout sets the maximum amount of time for the client to receive an entire HTTP request stream.

How to configure

Core

Config file keys	Environment variables	Type	Default
timeout_read	TIMEOUT_READ	string (Go Duration formatting)	30s

Examples

timeout_read: 30s

TIMEOUT_READ=30s

Enterprise

Set Global Timeouts in the Console:

Kubernetes

Parameter name	Type	Defaults
timeouts.read	string (Go Duration formatting)	30s

Examples

timeouts:
  read: 30s

Write Timeout

Write Timeout sets the maximum time that a stream’s lifetime will span. An HTTP request/response exchange fully consumes a single stream. So, the write_timeout value must be greater than read_timeout, as it covers both the HTTP request and response time.

How to configure

Core

Config file keys	Environment variables	Type	Default
timeout_write	TIMEOUT_WRITE	string (Go Duration formatting)	0

Examples

timeout_write: 0

TIMEOUT_WRITE=0

Enterprise

Set Global Timeouts in the Console:

Kubernetes

Parameter name	Type	Default
timeouts.write	string (Go Duration formatting)	0

Examples

timeouts:
  write: 0

Idle Timeout

Idle Timeout sets the time at which an upstream or downstream connection will be terminated if there are no active streams.

How to configure

Core

Config file keys	Environment variables	Type	Default
timeout_idle	TIMEOUT_IDLE	string (Go Duration formatting)	5m

Examples

timeout_idle: 5m

TIMEOUT_IDLE=5m

Enterprise

Set Global Timeouts in the Console:

Kubernetes

Parameter name	Type	Default
timeouts.idle	string (Go Duration formatting)	5m

Examples

timeouts:
  idle: 5m
