Readiness probe error not handled due to php-fpm-healthcheck timeout

[xriser]

When php-fpm stuck and didn't respond, php-fpm-healthckeck can't handle this, and timeouts to connect to the port.

root@deployment-php-5bddfd7964-7ctmf:/app# php-fpm-healthcheck -v Trying to connect to php-fpm via: localhost:9000/status ^C
So, php-fpm-healthcheck doesn't return fail status in a reasonable time.

Since K8s doesn't handle timeouts healthcheck, it doesn't work. Because Kubernetes remove the pod from service only when heathcheck returning fail event.
Readiness probe errored: rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded desc = context deadline exceeded
Readiness probe errored, but pod didn't remove from services.

Is there any way to setup a reasonable timeout to connect to the PHP port for the php-fpm-healthcheck?

I'm getting the same - makes it a little useless when PHP-FPM stops responding

Just to update with this one for anyone else searching, I managed to resolve using BusyBox timeout command in my Kubernetes liveness probe...

livenessProbe:
  exec:
    command:
     - timeout
     - "1"
     - php-fpm-healthcheck
     - --listen-queue=15 # fails if there are more than 10 processes waiting in the fpm queue

This means that if php-fpm-healthcheck doesn't return success within 1 second it'll assume its dead.

Did the same before. It works
livenessProbe: exec: command: - /usr/bin/timeout - "3" - /usr/local/bin/php-fpm-healthcheck - --listen-queue=100 initialDelaySeconds: 300

@xriser do you find PHP-FPM becomes unresponsive often? I'm having problems where the node will restart about 10 times a day due to PHP-FPM not responding

no, it depends on the application. If the app doesn't free php child they start to grow and running out of active child limits.

If we implement a --timeout feature, we can also close #28 .

Is this doc relevant?

https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-liveness-readiness-startup-probes/#configure-probes

But yes, I think we must implement a --timeout feature, too.
