3. The problem I’m having:

I have replicated Grafana Mimir, as load balancer I have used Caddy. When the Mimir containers are running everything works fine, as soon as one of the Mimir instances is killed, none of the containers are reachable.
I tested this with ngix to isolate the problem and to know if the problem is with the Mimir. With ngix, it works beautifully. I have tested all the “lb_policy”. Without success.

5. What I already tried:

Tested with nginx load balancer and it works, that’s exactly what I want to do with Caddy.

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    upstream backend {
        server mimir-1:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s;
        server mimir-2:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s;
        server mimir-3:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s backup;
    }

    server {
        listen 9009;
        access_log /dev/null;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://backend;
        }
    }
}

6. Links to relevant resources:

Remove the lb_try_interval 250s or set it to something closer to its default value (250ms)

You are waiting 250 seconds before trying the next upstream if one fails

Hi Emily,

thanks for the swift feedback, your hint, that helped me! I still have one problem, if I kill one of the 3 containers, then the Mimir is reachable, but if I kill two containers the GUI of Mimir is reachable, but no data arrives at Grafana Mimir. I get status code 502.

You’ll need to show your logs again. It’s impossible to know what’s going on without more evidence.

You are absolutely right, attached are the Caddy logs:

Can you share your Caddyfile and logs with debug logging (just like in your opening post) again?

What did you set lb_try_interval to now?
It describes the total amount spent load balancing a request, so it should be less than $lb_try_duration * $retries.

If you don’t feel like playing around with durations, just use lb_retries:

mimir.example.com {
	import logconsole
	reverse_proxy {
		to mimir-1:8080
		to mimir-2:8080
		to mimir-3:8080

		lb_policy round_robin
		lb_retries 2
	}
}

Hello Emily,

with the configuration, i can reach the state of nginx. That helps me. Many thanks for your support.

caddy conf

mimir.example.com {
         import logconsole
         reverse_proxy * {
                 to mimir-1:8080
                 to mimir-2:8080
                 to mimir-3:8080

                 lb_policy round_robin
                 lb_try_duration 1s
                 max_fails 1
         }
}

Nginx conf

events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}

http {
    upstream backend {
        server mimir-1:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s;
        server mimir-2:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s;
        server mimir-3:8080 max_fails=1 fail_timeout=1s backup;
    }

    server {
        listen 9009;
        access_log /dev/null;
        location / {
            proxy_pass http://backend;
        }
    }
}
