Is there a way to disable circuit breaking?¶
Envoy comes with certain defaults
for each kind of circuit breaking. Currently, there isn’t a switch to turn
circuit breaking off completely; however, you could achieve a similar behavior
by setting these thresholds very high, for example, to std::numeric_limits<uint32_t>::max()
.
Following is a sample configuration that tries to effectively disable all kinds
of circuit breaking by setting the thresholds to a value of 1000000000
.
circuit_breakers:
thresholds:
- priority: DEFAULT
max_connections: 1000000000
max_pending_requests: 1000000000
max_requests: 1000000000
max_retries: 1000000000
- priority: HIGH
max_connections: 1000000000
max_pending_requests: 1000000000
max_requests: 1000000000
max_retries: 1000000000
Envoy supports priority routing at the route level. You may adjust the thresholds accordingly.
