Outlier Detection

When updating a traffic policy, you can determine whether to enable outlier detection. This option can improve microservice resilience.

The access statuses of service pods are traced to determine whether the pods are healthy. Unhealthy pods will be ejected from the connection pool to improve the overall access success rate. Outlier detection can be configured for HTTP and TCP services.

For HTTP services, pods that continuously return 5xx errors are considered unhealthy. For TCP services, pods whose connections time out or fail are considered unhealthy.
