Request body objects

The FailureDetectionParameterSet object

A set of failure detection parameters (FDP).

These parameters define the conditions of failure and success.

Element
Type
Description
Required
brokenLinkDomains
string[]

A list of domains for the special handling of the 404 HTTP response code.

If the top domain of the Referer is presented in the list OR equals the top domain of the request's host, the 404 code is considered a failure.

Only applicable when isHttp404NotFoundFailureEnabled is set to true.

optional
clientSideMissingHttpCodeIsFailure
boolean

The missing HTTP response code on the client side is a failure (true) or a success (false).

If not set, false is used.

optional
description
string

A short description of the FDP set.

optional
exceptionOnAnyNodeExceptionPatterns

A list of faulty exceptions.

If an exception on any node of the service matches any of these patterns it is considered a failure.

optional
failingHttpCodesClientSide
string

A list of client side HTTP response codes that are considered a failure.

The format is a list of ranges and individual values (for example, 500-599, 400-499, 1008).

If not set, the range of 400-599 is used.

optional
failingHttpCodesServerSide
string

A list of server side HTTP response codes that are considered a failure.

The format is a list of ranges and individual values (for example, 500-599, 400-499, 1008).If not set, the range of 500-599 is used.

optional
http404NotFoundFailureEnabled
boolean

Special handling of the 404 HTTP response code is enabled (true) or disabled (false). See brokenLinkDomains for special handling details.

Only applicable when 404 is NOT in the list of failing HTTP response codes and only for the server side.

If not set, false is used.

optional
id
string

The ID of the parameter set.

optional
ignoreAllExceptions
boolean

If set to true all exceptions will be ignored. Which means defined exception patterns will not have any effect.

optional
ignoreSpanFailureDetection
boolean

If set to true span failure detection will be ignored.

optional
ignoredExceptionPatterns

A list of ignored exceptions.

If an exception on the entry node of the service matches any of these patterns it is ignored by failure detection.

optional
name
string

The display name of the FDP set.

The length of the name is limited to 150 characters.

optional
serverSideMissingHttpCodeIsFailure
boolean

The missing HTTP response code on the server side is a failure (true) or a success (false).

If not set, false is used.

optional
successForcingExceptionPatterns

A list of success exceptions.

If an exception on the entry node of the service matches any of these patterns it is considered a success.

optional
tagConditions

A list of tag-based conditions.

If any condition is fulfilled the request is considered a failure.

optional
