Hey guys :wave:

Is there a way to configure the number of retries of a connection from airbyte's API?

No, but you can configure general level using the env variable! Check the .env file.

Hello Gerard Clos, it's been a while without an update from us. Are you still having problems or did you find a solution?

went for the option of changing the env var, although ideally i would like to have a per-connection retry strategy

<@U047Z65HPE2> if this is still something you’re interested in. I’d recommend creating a github issue so that members of our community and engineering team can weigh in and so we can more easily track community interest. Otherwise, happy to hear you were able to configure the env var!

Quick question, i'm using helm chart to deploy airbyte in a k8s kluster, but I don't see a straightforward way to change the SYNC_JOB_MAX_ATTEMPTS env var, any pointers?

Hey Gerard, I believe you can change them in the values.yml file: <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-platform/blob/2932f2991ccb7d7cb49e7a8083df7dd5c32437a2/charts/airbyte/values.yaml>

Let me know if this helps.

Hey, yeah I figured you have to add the env var to the <https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte-platform/blob/2932f2991ccb7d7cb49e7a8083df7dd5c32437a2/charts/airbyte/values.yaml#L792|extraEnv> property. Thanks!
