Question

do-agent - Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers

Hi,

Our droplets in AMS3 are getting constant timeouts when trying to send metrics. This is really filling up our logs.

Is anybody else experiencing this?

All outbound traffic is being allowed from the droplets.

Looks like this was related to the incident here - https://status.digitalocean.com/incidents/y7dl42h08t4x .

If so, you should not be seeing the issue anymore.

Certainly no problems here, except for a pretty big delay in pings:

i saw something similar when we had problems with DNS or IPv6 settings. try dig -4 ams3.sonar.digitalocean.com for DNS query, and ping -c 5 ams3.sonar.digitalocean.com for ping with DNS query, and ping -c 5 162.243.188.200 for ping without DNS query.

IP 162.243.188.200 stands for ams3.sonar.digitalocean.com .
