johnsomHi everyone16:00
johnsom#topic Announcements16:00
johnsomThe only announcement I have this week is that stable/2024.1 is heading towards unmaintained. I approved a bunch of final releases this last week.16:01
johnsomAny other announcements this week?16:02
danfainot from my side16:02

johnsom#topic Brief progress reports / bugs needing review16:02
johnsomI have mostly been working on reviews upstream. Downstream there have been other distractions as well.16:03
johnsomI have been trying to research more about the pyproject.toml transition, so that is still WIP.16:03
gthiemongeI opened a launchpad for a random unit test failure in the CI (with a test function recently added) https://bugs.launchpad.net/octavia/+bug/211691516:03
gthiemongeI'm going to propose a patch to fix the test tomorrow16:04
johnsom+116:04
gthiemonge(the failure was reported by frickler last week ^^)16:04
danfaii was on pto, and will be again on pto the next weeks. Reading last meetings notes, I saw maybe I was missing some more release notes, so updated the review for that. thanks for the +216:05
johnsomThank you!16:05
danfaiotherwise I was previously having this issue downstream: #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/octavia/+bug/211426416:05
danfaiThe question would be if we can somehow make the value for the ipvsadm timeout configurable to actually failover quicker16:06
gthiemongehmm interesting16:07
danfaiThe problem we are facing, the client will always use the same IP+src port and sends pings multiple times per second. Thus it will always go to the same backend, and for quite a long time even if the backend is marked down16:08
johnsomYeah, same, I would have expected that setting to be tuned with the health manager timeout/retry settings16:09
danfaiI think a question will be how to properly translate it to the correct value and set it accordingly.16:10
gthiemongewe have some timeout settings in the listener API, they are probably unused for UDP, maybe we can find one setting that would fit16:11
danfaiWhile our use-case does not care which backend it sends the traffic to, other use-cases might want to have bidirectional communication, and too low timeouts would break this16:11
johnsomLet me play around with this a bit. I will post updates on the bug16:11
danfaithanks16:11
danfaifeel free to ping me in the ticket/here if you need more info, if I see it I'll reply16:12
johnsomUDP is an challenging case given the stateless nature. We rely on ICMP pretty heavily there to detect failed member services.16:12
johnsomThanks for opening a bug for it.16:14
johnsomTo clarify, it's load balancing UDP traffic, but the health monitor is checking over HTTP?16:15
danfaicorrect16:15
danfaiI see, I forgot a reproducer in the ticket, will add some more infos16:15
johnsomOk. A scenario that probably is not tested well16:15
johnsomThanks, a reproducer would be great16:17
johnsom#topic Open Discussion16:17
johnsomAny other topics for today?16:17
danfainop16:18
