How to increase the http thread pool in kubernetes?

[polsson12]

Hi,

How do I increase the http thread pool of auth-server in kubernetes so we can accept more incoming requests during high load?
How to set min / max values for this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @polsson12,

Please go through the Kubernetes reference guide if you haven't already. It guides you through configuration updates via Helm charts and also lists the properties available for each module, including the auth-server. Also check scaling guide for K8S.

Adding @yuriyz to help point to the specific property for this.
Adding @moabu to advice on scaling.

Thread pool is controlled by jetty since AS is run under jetty. In cloud environment it has to be controlled by cloud config, not individually. @moabu has to advice.

Hi,

Thanks for the responses. I've checked the docs @ossdhaval referred to, but can't find anything related to the thread pool of the AS server. More support would be appriciated.

Best,
Philip

Hey @polsson12 ,

You should be able to do that through cnCustomJavaOptions in the helm chart values file . Forexample Try passing cnCustomJavaOptions: "-Dorg.eclipse.jetty.server.threadpool.minThreads=10 -Dorg.eclipse.jetty.server.threadpool.maxThreads=50 -Dorg.eclipse.jetty.server.threadpool.idleTimeout=60000"
