  • 1.  How to increase API Gateway timeout?

    Posted Jan 08, 2018 12:33 PM

    Hi all,

     

    Currently, our API Gateway times out all request after 60 seconds. Can you point me to the property to manage this, please?

    Also, is it possible to configure this at a service level? For example, I may want to leave it at 60 seconds, but perhaps I want a specific service to timeout at 120 seconds.

     

    Thanks in advance,

    -Jaime

    Jamie,

     

    Are you looking for changing the Gateway timeout for incoming requests, or outgoing requests?

     

    You may want to review these documentation pages (depending on which way you want to change the timeout):

    Hey Dustin,

     

    Thanks for your quick reply, the property we were looking for was io.outTimeout, listed in the last link you provided.

     

    Best,

    Hi,

    At the gateway level we have timeout set to 20s and this applies to all the incoming services and the routes for all the services.
    io.outTimeout=20000
    io.outConnectTimeout=1000

    At the routing assertion

    When a client consumes the API, even if the routing service takes longer than 20 seconds, I do not want to close the connection to the client. 
    One of my routing service is taking longer than 20s. I can change routing assertion and set a custom timeout of 30s. It will take care of the routing assertion taking longer than 20 seconds. But my connection to the client is timing out.  I do not want to increase the system wide io.outTimeout and effect every service. Is there a way to change this only for one service?
