Airbyte orchestrator get the source definition for feature flag checks: java.net.ConnectException

It looks like you're encountering a

java.net.ConnectException

when the Airbyte orchestrator attempts to get the source definition for feature flag checks. This issue is mentioned in the context of an airgapped Airbyte instance, where network connectivity issues can arise. From the provided knowledge sources, here are the relevant details: ### Issue Description The error occurs during the process of fetching remote definitions, which involves network calls. Specifically, the

ConnectException

is thrown when the

HttpClientImpl

tries to send a request but fails to establish a connection. ### Relevant Stack Trace The stack trace indicates the point of failure:

plaintext Caused by: java.net.ConnectException     at java.net.http/jdk.internal.net.http.HttpClientImpl.send(HttpClientImpl.java:846)     at java.net.http/jdk.internal.net.http.HttpClientFacade.send(HttpClientFacade.java:123)     at io.airbyte.config.specs.RemoteDefinitionsProvider.getConnectorRegistryEntryJson(RemoteDefinitionsProvider.java:177)     ...

(Source: [GitHub Issue #30433, Part 3](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/30433)) ### Possible Causes 1. Network Configuration: Since this is an airgapped instance, ensure that the necessary network configurations are in place to allow the Airbyte instance to reach the required endpoints. 2. Firewall Rules: Check if there are any firewall rules blocking the outbound connections from the Airbyte instance. 3. Proxy Settings: If your environment requires a proxy to access external networks, ensure that the proxy settings are correctly configured. ### Actionable Steps 1. Verify Network Connectivity: Ensure that the Airbyte instance can reach the external endpoints required for fetching remote definitions. 2. Check Logs for Detailed Errors: Review the detailed logs to identify any specific network-related issues. 3. Configure Proxy (if needed): If a proxy is required, configure it in the Airbyte settings. ### Example Configuration If you need to configure a proxy, you might need to set environment variables like

HTTP_PROXY

and

HTTPS_PROXY

in your Airbyte deployment.

bash export HTTP_PROXY=<http://your-proxy-server:port> export HTTPS_PROXY=<https://your-proxy-server:port>

For more detailed troubleshooting, you can refer to the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com). If the issue persists, consider reaching out to the Airbyte community or support for further assistance. ### References - [GitHub Issue #30433, Part 3](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/30433) - [GitHub Issue #30433, Part 5](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/30433) - [GitHub Issue #30433, Part 7](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/30433)

@kapa.ai This is not running in an airgapped instance

It seems like you are encountering issues with your Airbyte instance, but it's not running in an airgapped environment. Based on the knowledge sources provided, here are some potential issues and solutions that might help you: 1. Intermittent Errors and Connectivity Issues: - If you are experiencing intermittent errors or connectivity issues, it might be related to network configurations or proxy settings. For example, the issue described in [GitHub Issue #27614](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/27614) suggests checking if your environment has internet access and updating Airbyte to the latest version to resolve similar issues. 2. Proxy Environment Variables: - If you are using a proxy, ensure that the proxy environment variables (

http_proxy

,

https_proxy

,

no_proxy

) are correctly set. There was a related issue in [GitHub Issue #16595](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/16595) where the

docker run

command ignored these variables, causing connectivity problems. 3. Deployment on GKE: - If you are deploying Airbyte on GKE and facing issues, ensure that your setup is correctly configured. The forum post [Issue Airbyte on GKE without internet](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/763) discusses similar problems and might provide some insights. 4. External Postgres Database Configuration: - If you are configuring Airbyte to use an external Postgres database, make sure all environment variables are correctly set. Refer to the [documentation on configuring the Airbyte database](https://docs.airbyte.com/operator-guides/configuring-airbyte-db#connecting-to-an-external-postgres-database) for detailed steps.

bash    DATABASE_USER=postgres      DATABASE_PASSWORD=password      DATABASE_HOST=host.docker.internal # refers to localhost of host      DATABASE_PORT=3000      DATABASE_DB=postgres

Additionally, update the

DATABASE_URL

if you need to include extra arguments for the JDBC driver:

bash    DATABASE_URL=jdbc:<postgresql://host.docker.internal:3000/postgres?ssl=true&sslmode=require>

5. General Troubleshooting: - If your Airbyte instance becomes unreachable or you encounter errors like "504 bad gateway timeout," it might be due to resource limitations or misconfigurations. The forum post [Airbyte instance not reachable with the UI nor with SSH](https://discuss.airbyte.io/t/3037) discusses similar issues and suggests checking memory and disk space utilization. If none of these solutions resolve your issue, please provide more details about the specific problem you are facing, and I can assist you further.
