Determine when API is not responding - develop approach and handling #76

Closed cd-rite closed 5 months ago

cd-rite commented 8 months ago

Current behavior: preflight request failure - leaves a log entry, does not retry on failure, watcher stops. Subsequent failures - keeps trying, adds log entries.

API unavailable after preflight (timeout):

throw error, stop processing, retry

retry behavior:

scan mode: suspend scanning and file parsing while retrying
event mode: continue capturing file add/remove events, suspend file parsing
retry every 60 seconds
- Log initial failure
- Log every (hour? day? thereafter)
- Log success
- log: every attempt at debug level
- continue trying indefinitely
