Global Timeouts

Summary

Global Timeouts set the global server timeouts. Timeouts can also be set for individual routes.

How to configure

Core

Config file keys	Environment variables	Type	Defaults	Definition
timeout_read	TIMEOUT_READ	string (Go Duration formatting)	30s	The amount of time for the entire request stream to be received from the client.
timeout_write	TIMEOUT_WRITE	string (Go Duration formatting)	0	The max stream duration is the maximum time that a stream’s lifetime will span. An HTTP request/response exchange fully consumes a single stream. Therefore, this value must be greater than read_timeout as it covers both request and response time.
timeout_idle	TIMEOUT_IDLE	string (Go Duration formatting)	5m	The idle timeout is the time at which a downstream or upstream connection will be terminated if there are no active streams.

Enterprise

Set Global Timeouts in the Console:

Kubernetes

See timeouts section of the global configuration CRD.
