Retry

Retrying until it Succeeds {: .subtitle }

The Retry middleware is in charge of reissuing a request a given number of times to a backend server if that server does not reply. To be clear, as soon as the server answers, the middleware stops retrying, regardless of the response status. The Retry middleware has an optional configuration for exponential backoff.

Configuration Examples

# Retry to send request 4 times with exponential backoff
labels:
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-retry.retry.attempts=4"
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-retry.retry.initialinterval=100ms"

Configuration Options

attempts

mandatory

The attempts option defines how many times the request should be retried.

initialInterval

The initialInterval option defines the first wait time in the exponential backoff series (provided in seconds or as a valid duration format, see time.ParseDuration). The maximum interval is calculated as twice the initialInterval. If unspecified, requests will be retried immediately.
