Hi John, Thank you for the reply.
Are you suggesting that I could have a parent marked down, with a very short retry_time (~1 second), and it would be retried within the same transaction? I would have thought that at the point it’s marked down, the transaction would end? Thanks Nick From: John J.

Nick, See the Parent Proxy Configurations, https://docs.trafficserver.apache.org/admin-guide/files/records.config.en.html#parent-proxy-configuration You may need to do some tweaking. There is a sliding window, proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.retry_time. When the failure threshold ,proxy.config.http.parent_proxy.fail_threshold¶, on a parent is reached the parent is marked down and will not be used until the retry window has elapsed. when the window has elapsed, a failed parent will be retried but, if the retry fails, no further attempts will be made to that parent until the retry window has elapsed again. If the retry succeeds, the parent is marked up. thanks John On 2/20/23 12:02, Nick Dunkin wrote: > > Hi, > > If a parent cache is offline for a brief period of time (say < 3 > seconds) I would like to know if there is way to configure a “sleep” > between connection retries on a particular parent? > > The ability to configure the “connection attempts” is not useful here, > as when the parent is completely offline the algorithm can run through > many hundreds of connection attempts in milliseconds (confirmed from > logs). > > The use case here is that, for us, it is preferable to make the client > occasionally wait 1-3 seconds, than to return them a HTTP 502. > > I’ve started looking at the code, but I’d like to confirm that this is > not already supported somehow. > > Many thanks > > Nick > > *Nick Dunkin* > > Director, Software Architecture > > Manager – Architecture and New Product Introduction > > *o: **+1 678.258.4071* > > *e:*nick.dun...@vecima.com <mailto:nick.dun...@vecima.com> > > cidimage001.png@01D6CC8C.6FC5A580 >
