Circuit breaking

The following is an example circuit breaker configuration:

  1. circuit_breakers:
  2.   thresholds:
  3.   - priority: "DEFAULT"
  4.     max_requests: 75
  5.     max_pending_requests: 35
  6.     retry_budget:
  7.       budget_percent:
  8.         value: 25.0
  9.       min_retry_concurrency: 10

Runtime

All circuit breaking settings are runtime configurable for all defined priorities based on cluster name. They follow the following naming scheme circuit_breakers.<cluster_name>.<priority>.<setting>. cluster_name is the name field in each cluster’s configuration, which is set in the Envoy config file. Available runtime settings will override settings set in the Envoy config file.
