Timeout issue with InfluxDB Cloud

, ,
1

I’m using the influxdb cloud python client to ingest IoT data via a Google Cloud function, and encountering some timeout issues. The Traceback is below, but it appears the requests to my cloud function endpoint are timing out past the default timeout duration of 10.0 seconds. Is there anyway to adjust the timeout period while using the Influxdb cloud service? I’m using this server: us-central1-1.gcp.cloud2.influxdata.com

Or will I need to run a private instance on a separate server to adjust the timeout duration? I set the cloud function timeout to 540 seconds, so that isn’t the limiting factor.

Hello @Mason_Lanphear,
What version of the influxdb python client library did you use? Can you share the link to the client that you used?
That sounds to me like the instantiation of your client is wrong. I also get that error when that’s the case or my credentials are wrong.
Do you mind sharing your script?
Thank you

Hi @Anaisdg,

I set the timeout duration in my client instantiation to 30 seconds and haven’t seen the error in 5 days. I will let you know if the issue persists, but it seems to have fixed the issue.

url="https://us-central1-1.gcp.cloud2.influxdata.com"
client = influxdb_client.InfluxDBClient(url=url,token=token,org=org,timeout=30_000)
write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)

Thanks!

Hi @Anaisdg,

I noticed this error occurred again today. Are there any potential risks associated with incrementing the timeout duration by 10 seconds? Increasing from 10 to 30 seconds did reduce the frequency of timeout errors.

Thanks,
