Configure connection timeout
The connection timeout configuration for a Load Balancer defines the maximum time a connection or request can exist before it is closed. This is important for resource management and maintaining stable system performance.
How it works:
- When a connection or request is sent to the Load Balancer, the system starts counting the allowed lifetime for that connection.
- If the connection is not completed or the request is not responded to within this time, it is closed.
- Configuring timeout prevents connections or requests from hanging and consuming resources.
You set the timeout values in the Advanced Settings section when creating or updating a Listener.
