How can I increase the healthcheck timeout when launching an instance with Boxfuse?

My instance fails to come up within 60 seconds. How can I increase the timeout?

The error I'm getting both locally and on AWS is:

ERROR: Time out: Payload of Instance vb-312f2f77 failed to come up within 60 seconds at http://127.0.0.1:8888/ !

Solution

  • There are two available fixes /causes:

    1. Increase the healthcheck timeout. For example to increase the default of 60 to 120 seconds you could use boxfuse fuse payload.war -healthcheck.timeout=120 (More info: https://cloudcaptain.sh/docs/commandline/fuse.html#healthcheck.timeout)

    2. Analyse the instance logs to check whether it is a genuine timeout or some application startup issue. You can do this by issuing boxfuse logs vb-312f2f77 (More info: https://cloudcaptain.sh/docs/commandline/logs.html)
