Disable retry when request timeout

[hnhai]

When I call request to service through Kong Ingress Controller.
If request timeout, request will be auto retry.
I want disable retry, but don't see any configuration.
Thank you

Unbelievable that this is not answered. I need the same. I have endpoints with long running tasks.

Hi @danieldaeschle and @hnhai 👋

You should be able to achieve this by setting the konghq.com/retries annotation on the Service:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  annotations:
    konghq.com/retries: "0"
  labels:
    app: httpbin
  name: httpbin-deployment
spec:
  ports:
  - port: 80
    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    app: httpbin
  type: ClusterIP

https://docs.konghq.com/kubernetes-ingress-controller/latest/reference/annotations/#konghqcomretries

That will set the retries on the underlying Kong service:
