Request Timeout V Network Timeout

I’m not sure if this is the best place to bring this up, but I’m having some issues being able to differentiate a network timeout from a request timeout.

Is there a way to set the connection timeout separate from the request timeout?

Basically I want to be able to set different thresholds for when a node is not responding at all (which would result in a ConnectTimeout to one in which the request is just taking too long to process ReadTimeout

ConnectTimeout: HTTPConnectionPool(host=<host>, port=9200): Max retries exceeded with url: /_bulk (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f44f2c8f510>, 'Connection to <node> timed out. (connect timeout=10)'))

v

ReadTimeout: HTTPConnectionPool(host=<host> port=9200): Read timed out. (read timeout=10)

I’d like to set connect_timeout = 1 and read_timeout = 20

Great. Thanks for your time Nick! I’ll implement sniffing and go from there. You’ve been very helpful.

I’m going to close the issue for now.
