TimeOut value in AWS ALB


Can I configure a timeout in AWS ALB for front-end connection? I am not talking about connection level idle timeout. I am asking about transaction level timeout. For example, I configure timeout of 60 seconds somewhere in the load balancer and send a transaction to ALB which is then sent to an appropriate target. If a response from the target is not received in 60 seconds then the user gets a preconfigured response from ALB.


Solution

  • This is Connection idle timeout setting on ALB, which by default is 60 seconds. can be increased to 4000 seconds.

    Here is how we can increase it from console.

    On the Description tab, choose Edit attributes and enter Idle timeout in seconds.
