Directives discussed in this section set various timeout values. Their argument is an integer expressing the value in seconds.
Specify how often should pound check for the status of
backend servers marked as dead (i.e. inaccessible). It is a
good idea to set this as low as possible – it will find resurrected
hosts faster. However, if you set it too low it will consume
resources.
Default is 30 seconds.
Specify for how long pound will wait for a client request
(default: 10 seconds). It will drop the connection if client doesn’t
send any data within this interval.
This value can be overridden for specific listeners.
Specify for how long pound will wait for the backend to
respond (default: 15 seconds).
This value can be overridden for specific backends.
Specify for how long pound will wait for a connection to
a backend to be established. Default is the same as the
TimeOut value.
This value can be overridden for specific backends.
Specify for how long pound will wait for data from either
backend or client in a connection upgraded to WebSocket protocol.
Default is 600 seconds.
This value can be overridden for specific backends.
How long should pound continue to answer existing
connections after a receiving a ‘INT’ or ‘HUP’
signal (default: 30 seconds). The configured listeners are closed
immediately. You can bypass this behaviour by stopping pound
with a ‘TERM’ or ‘QUIT’ signal, in which case the program
exits without any delay.
