Container Probes

These parameters control the usage of liveness and readiness container probes for the web and task containers.

[!ALERT] All of probes are disabled by default for now, to enable it, set the *_period parameters. For example:

web_liveness_period: 15
web_readiness_period: 15
task_liveness_period: 15
task_readiness_period: 15

Web / Task Container Liveness Check

The liveness probe queries the status of the supervisor daemon of the container. The probe will fail if it detects one of the services in a state other than "RUNNING".

Name	Description	Default
web_liveness_period	Time period in seconds between each probe check. The value of 0 disables the probe.	0
web_liveness_initial_delay	Initial delay before starting probes in seconds	5
web_liveness_failure_threshold	Number of consecutive failure events to identify failure of container	3
web_liveness_timeout	Number of seconds to wait for a probe response from container	1
task_liveness_period	Time period in seconds between each probe check. The value of 0 disables the probe.	0
task_liveness_initial_delay	Initial delay before starting probes in seconds	5
task_liveness_failure_threshold	Number of consecutive failure events to identify failure of container	3
task_liveness_timeout	Number of seconds to wait for a probe response from container	1

Web Container Readiness Check

This is an HTTP check against the status endpoint to confirm the system is still able to respond to web requests.

Name	Description	Default
web_readiness_period	Time period in seconds between each probe check. The value of 0 disables the probe.	0
web_readiness_initial_delay	Initial delay before starting probes in seconds	5
web_readiness_failure_threshold	Number of consecutive failure events to identify failure of container	3
web_readiness_timeout	Number of seconds to wait for a probe response from container	1

Task Container Readiness Check

This is a command probe using the builtin check command of the awx-manage utility.

Name	Description	Default
task_readiness_period	Time period in seconds between each probe check. The value of 0 disables the probe.	0
task_readiness_initial_delay	Initial delay before starting probes in seconds	5
task_readiness_failure_threshold	Number of consecutive failure events to identify failure of container	3
task_readiness_timeout	Number of seconds to wait for a probe response from container	1
