MeshFaultInjection
With the MeshFaultInjection policy you can easily test your microservices against resiliency.
This policy uses a new policy matching algorithm. Do not combine with FaultInjection.

Configuration
MeshFaultInjection
allows configuring a list of HTTP faults. They execute in the same order as they were defined.
default:
http:
- abort:
httpStatus: 500
percentage: "2.5"
delay:
value: 5s
percentage: 5
responseBandwidth:
limit: "50Mbps"
percentage: 50
- abort:
httpStatus: 500
percentage: 10
- delay:
value: 5s
percentage: 5
It’s worth mentioning that percentage of the next filter depends on the percentage of previous ones.
http:
- abort:
httpStatus: 500
percentage: 70
- abort:
httpStatus: 503
percentage: 50
That means that for 70% of requests, it returns 500 and for 50% of the 30% that passed it returns 503.
Abort
Abort defines a configuration of not delivering requests to destination service and replacing the responses from destination dataplane by predefined status code.
-
httpStatus
- HTTP status code which will be returned to source side, has to be in [100 - 599] range -
percentage
- a percentage of requests on which abort will be injected, has to be in [0.0 - 100.0] range. If the value is a double number, put it in quotes.
Delay
Delay defines a configuration of delaying a response from a destination.
-
value
- the duration during which the response will be delayed -
percentage
- a percentage of requests on which abort will be injected, has to be in [0.0 - 100.0] range. If the value is a double number, put it in quotes.
ResponseBandwidth limit
ResponseBandwidth defines a configuration to limit the speed of responding to requests.
-
limit
- represented by value measure in Gbps, Mbps, kbps, or bps, e.g. 10kbps -
percentage
- a percentage of requests on which abort will be injected, has to be in [0.0 - 100.0] range. If the value is a double number, put it in quotes.
