Proposed commit message
Add configurable failure threshold before reporting streams as degraded
With this change it is possible to configure a threshold for the number of consecutive errors that may happen while fetching metrics for a given stream before the stream gets marked as DEGRADED.
To configure such threshold, add a
"failure_threshold": <n>
to a module configuration block.Depending on the value of
<n>
the threshold will be configured in different ways:failure_threshold
not specified: backward compatible behavior, the stream will become DEGRADED at the first error encounteredn
consecutive errors have been encounteredWhen a
fetch
operation completes without errors the consecutive errors counter is reset and the stream is set to HEALTHY.Checklist
[ ] I have made corresponding change to the default configuration files[ ] I have added an entry inCHANGELOG.next.asciidoc
orCHANGELOG-developer.next.asciidoc
.Disruptive User Impact
No disruptive user impact since not specifying the new configuration key maintains the previous behavior
