Retries between Router and MP across network boundaries

[terrancedavid]

We have a situation where inks between our DMZ and our CORE network layers (in a 3 tier architecture) have some intermittent disconnects.

Are there any built-in "health check" functionality on the Apigee Routers to verify Message Processor availability? I.e., Can Apigee routers in the DMZ handle retries at least 2 or 3 times to the Message Processors in CORE?

Nope. That's not how it works. The router will try the MP and if failure, returns the failure to the client.

Hi @terrancedavid

At Virtual host, there is a configuration for retry option ie if Router to MP connection is timeout out then it can retry to another MP.

https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/fundamentals/virtual-host-property-reference

<RetryOptions>

<RetryOption>http_599</RetryOption>

<RetryOption>timeout</RetryOption>

</RetryOptions>
