APM Servers respond with 503 "request timed out"

Hi,

We see a lot of the following error logs in our APM servers:

{
	"log.level": "error",
	"@timestamp": "2023-05-05T17:02:56.871Z",
	"log.logger": "request",
	"log.origin": {
		"file.name": "middleware/log_middleware.go",
		"file.line": 58
	},
	"message": "request timed out",
	"service.name": "apm-server",
	"url.original": "/intake/v2/events",
	"http.request.method": "POST",
	"user_agent.original": "apm-agent-nodejs/3.44.1 (<agent name>)",
	"source.address": "127.0.0.6",
	"http.request.id": "1a40a058-531b-4e7b-b6c5-b36afaf289f5",
	"event.duration": 5000551444,
	"http.response.status_code": 503,
	"error.message": "request timed out",
	"ecs.version": "1.6.0"
}

Multiple APM servers run as Kubernetes pods to handle traces in our microservice environment. We are using APM Server version 8.5.3 and what is very strange is that the resource utilization in those pods is minimal, with less than 0.1 cores used and 200MB of memory used where the container has 1 entire core assigned and over 750MB. There is no evidence of any resource bottleneck, but we still get these errors.

We do not see any problem with the monitoring tools, here is the screenshot from the Stack Monitoring:

What we see on the agents is the following type error message:

APM Server transport error: APM Server response timeout (5000ms)

Thanks,

Zareh

@zvazquez can you please share the configuration for the apm-server pods, and any APM agent configuration for the Node.js application?

By default, agents may keep an HTTP request open to the server for up to 10 seconds. If that hasn't been changed, and a 5 second timeout has been specified (which the error suggests), then that may explain why this is happening.

Hi @axw ,

@axw
Is this what you conveyed?

Sorry, I was a bit unclear. What I meant was if a 5 second request timeout had been specified at APM Server, then that might explain why requests from the agent were being timed out. That does not appear to be the case.

Can you share the apm-server log? Are there any errors? It may be that the queue is filling up because of Elasticsearch not being able to ingest quickly enough.

Hi AXW,

I looked into the last 24 hrs from 6 different K8 clusters and the only other message that I found was something like this:

{"log.level":"error","@timestamp":"2023-05-17T17:02:42.156Z","log.logger":"beater.http","log.origin":{"file.name":"http/server.go","file.line":3195},"message":"http: TLS handshake error from 127.0.0.6:40685: remote error: tls: bad certificate","service.name":"apm-server","ecs.version":"1.6.0"}

What is clear is that we have lot of these 503s, but certainly they are only coming from NodeJS services, none of the JAVA or Python services are showing these errors:

Certainly, it is only happening in NodeJS.

Thanks for your help,

Zareh
