Technical Annotations (68)

Configuration Parameters (22)
traefik.http.routers.<name>.rulerecommended: Host(`app.example.com`)
Must use backticks and match exact request Host header
traefik.http.routers.<name>.entrypointsrecommended: websecure
Must match where traffic actually arrives (web vs websecure)
metrics.prometheus.entryPointrecommended: metrics
defines the entrypoint name for exposing metrics
entryPoints.metrics.addressrecommended: :8082
port where Prometheus metrics are exposed
metrics.prometheus.headerLabels
defines custom labels from request headers; must use valid Prometheus label names
entrypoints.<name>.transport.keepalivemaxrequestsrecommended: 1000
Maximum requests per keep-alive connection; 0 means unlimited
entrypoints.<name>.transport.keepalivemaxtimerecommended: 90s
Maximum duration per keep-alive connection; 0 means unlimited
entrypoints.<name>.http2.maxconcurrentstreamsrecommended: 250-1000
Maximum parallel requests per HTTP/2 connection
entrypoints.<name>.http.maxheaderbytesrecommended: 1048576
Maximum request header size in bytes; increase if 431 errors occur
deployment.lifecycle.preStop.exec.commandrecommended: ["/bin/sh", "-c", "sleep 90"]
Delays pod termination to allow AWS NLB deregistration to complete
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-protocolrecommended: http
Enables active health checks instead of passive connection monitoring
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-portrecommended: 9000
Traefik internal API port for health endpoint
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-pathrecommended: /ping
Traefik health check endpoint
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-unhealthy-thresholdrecommended: 2
Number of failed checks before marking target unhealthy
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-intervalrecommended: 5
Health check interval in seconds
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-healthcheck-timeoutrecommended: 3
Health check timeout in seconds
respondingTimeouts.readTimeoutrecommended: p90 to p99 request duration
Forces connection closure after timeout period
respondingTimeouts.writeTimeoutrecommended: p90 to p99 request duration
Prevents indefinite connection hold by slow clients
respondingTimeouts.idleTimeoutrecommended: p90 to p99 request duration
Closes idle keepalive connections automatically
entryPoints.{name}.transport.respondingTimeouts.readTimeoutrecommended: 15s in example; increase for services with large request bodies (>1MiB)
Timeout for reading entire request including body; too low causes legitimate slow uploads to fail with misleading HTTP 499
experimental.fastProxyrecommended: enabled in example
Experimental feature that changes timeout error representation from HTTP 499 to HTTP 504
reusePortrecommended: false
Disable if experiencing TCP connection failures on Linux
