Changing a Listener's Idle Timeout
Change the idle timeout for a listener in a network load balancer.
The idle timeout duration for TCP flows is 6 minutes and for UDP flows is 2 minutes. You can adjust this time when initially configuring the listener when creating a network load balancer, and also when editing the configuration of an existing listener.
You can only change the idle timeout using the CLI or API.
This task can't be performed using the Console.
Use the
tcp-idle-timeout
andudp-idle-timeout
parameters to configure the idle timeout for TCP and UDP listeners when creating or editing a listener. Specify the value in seconds. For example:oci nlb listener create --name name ... --tcp-idle-timeout 1200
or
oci nlb listener update --listener-name listener_name ... --udp-idle-timeout 360
In these examples, "600" equals 600 seconds or 10 minutes. "360" equals 6 minutes.
You can include both types of listener idle timeouts in the same command:oci nlb listener update --listener-name listener_name ... -tcp-idle-timeout 1200 --udp-idle-timeout 360
For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
Use the
tcpIdleTimeout
andudpIdleTimeout
options when running the CreateListener or UpdateListener operations. Specify the value in seconds.
