Status Code Monitoring: Configuration 1

Configure this failure scenario to continually monitor for specific origin status codes that you specify, in order to apply a retry or recovery method.

If you'd like to include this failure scenario set its Monitor Status Codes slider to "On" to enable it and access additional configuration options.



Option Description/Notes
Response Codes Define the origin response codes you want to trigger this specific retry or recovery method. You can input a single code entry (501) or a range (501:504).
Enable Retry Before Recovery Set this slider to "On," if you'd like Akamai to retry after a failure before trying the recovery method.
Note: A retry attempt will not reach the origin if the initial error response is cached. The error response codes 204, 305, 404, and 405 are typically cached. You can also include additional codes to be cached negatively via the Cache HTTP Error Responses behavior in your AMD property.
Recovery Method Configuration Name Input the value you applied as the Recovery Configuration Name for the recovery method you want to use:
  • I want to failover to a backup origin. By default, the Failure Recovery Method1 sub-rule in the Origin Failure Recovery Methods rule is used to set up this recovery method. Input the Recovery Configuration Name you set for this sub-rule to apply this recovery method.
  • I want to send a specific response code to the requesting client. By default, the Failure Recovery Method2 sub-rule in the Origin Failure Recovery Methods rule is used to set up this recovery method. Input the Recovery Configuration Name you set for this sub-rule to apply this recovery method.
Note: If you've deviated from the default method to set up your recovery methods, verify the proper Recovery Configuration Name to use by reviewing the Origin Failure Recovery Methods rule.
