12/12/2025, 5:36 AMflags.yaml lives in a Helm/EKS deployment or how to wire it via values.yaml. So I can’t state with certainty exactly where to place or reference flags.yaml in your current setup. What is documented: - Heartbeat behavior (source and destination) is controlled via flags.yaml with entries: - heartbeat-max-seconds-between-messages - heartbeat.failSync - destination-timeout-max-seconds - destination-timeout.failSync [[Heartbeats tech details](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/understanding-airbyte/heartbeats#technical-details)]. - General configuration guidance for Helm installs says you should configure Airbyte by overriding the Helm chart using a values.yaml file, and that values.yaml is the main interface for configuration in Helm deployments. [[Configuring Airbyte](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/operator-guides/configuring-airbyte); [Values.yaml reference](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte/values); [Create values.yaml override](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte#3-create-a-valuesyaml-override-file)] However, none of the provided docs show: - A flags.yaml path in the container or chart. - A values.yaml key that maps to flags.yaml content. - An example of configuring heartbeat flags via Helm. Because of that, I cannot confidently confirm that you should (or can) configure these heartbeat flags directly under values.yaml in your EKS Helm deployment, nor can I give you the exact keys to use. Given the current documentation: - You do configure most platform behavior via values.yaml overrides in Helm. [[Create values.yaml override](https://docs.airbyte.com/platform/deploying-airbyte#3-create-a-valuesyaml-override-file)] - Heartbeat settings are conceptually in flags.yaml, but the integration between flags.yaml and Helm is not described in the sources you provided. To proceed safely, you’ll likely need to: 1. Inspect the Airbyte Helm chart you’re using (e.g., the charts/airbyte or charts/v2/airbyte repo referenced in the docs) to see if there is: - A flags.yaml template, or - A values.yaml section that mentions flags/heartbeats. 2. Or, if you have access to the running pods, look for a flags.yaml file inside the worker/server containers to understand how it’s currently provided. But this lookup step is not documented in the knowledge sources, so I can’t give you the exact path or values.yaml snippet here.
