I've got a Next.js app which has 2 simple readiness
and liveness
endpoints with the following implementation:
return res.status(200).send('OK');
I've created the endpoints as per the api routes docs. Also, I've got a /stats
basePath as per the docs here. So, the probes endpoints are at /stats/api/readiness
and /stats/api/liveness
.
When I build and run the app in a Docker container locally - the probe endpoints are accessible and returning 200 OK.
When I deploy the app to my k8s cluster, though, the probes fail. There's plenty of initialDelaySeconds
time, so that's not the cause.
I connect to the service
of the pod thru port-forward
and when the pod has just started, before it fails, I can hit the endpoint and it returns 200 OK. And a bit after it starts failing as usual.
I also tried accessing the failing pod thru a healthy pod:
k exec -t [healthy pod name] -- curl -l 10.133.2.35:8080/stats/api/readiness
And the same situation - in the beginning, while the pod hasn't failed yet, I get 200 OK on the curl command. And a bit after, it start failing.
The error on the probes that I get is:
Readiness probe failed: Get http://10.133.2.35:8080/stats/api/readiness: net/http: request canceled (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
Funny experiment - I tried putting a random, non-existent endpoint for the probes, and I get the same error. Which leads me to the thought that the probes fail because it cannot access the proper endpoints?
But then again, the endpoints are accessible for a period of time before the probes start failing. So, I have literally no idea why this is happening.
Here is my k8s deployment config for the probes:
livenessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /stats/api/liveness
port: 8080
scheme: HTTP
initialDelaySeconds: 10
timeoutSeconds: 3
periodSeconds: 3
successThreshold: 1
failureThreshold: 5
readinessProbe:
httpGet:
path: /stats/api/readiness
port: 8080
scheme: HTTP
initialDelaySeconds: 10
timeoutSeconds: 3
periodSeconds: 3
successThreshold: 1
failureThreshold: 3
Update
used curl -v
as requested from comments. The result is:
