[joschi36]

ISSUE TYPE

• Enhancement Request

COMPONENT NAME

* API
* VR

CLOUDSTACK VERSION

4.11.3

CONFIGURATION

• Virtual Routers
• VMware

SUMMARY

Our Problem is that the default TCP timeouts aren't working for some of our usecases.

First Idea

The idea is to add three custom timeout parameter to the createLoadBalancer method.

• timeout connect
• timeout client
• timeout server

Second Idea

The second idea is to take a custom parameter to extend the listen section in haproxy. This custom parameter would be an array of configuration strings which get validated with haproxy configtest.

Here the parameter matrix for haproxy 1.7 https://cbonte.github.io/haproxy-dconv/1.7/configuration.html#4.1

@joschi36 Are you still considering this? please add configuration examples of what you want to achieve on the backend(s) with your new parameters, and a matrix of parameter <-> results. I think it might be a good idea but it is a bit vague as you describe it so far.

@DaanHoogland this should be fixed by #4141
