Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
consecutive5xx: 5
Why this is correct
This accurately defines the threshold for consecutive 5xx responses before ejection.
- ✗
interval: 5s
Why it's wrong here
Interval defines how often the detector runs, not the error threshold.
- ✗
maxEjectionPercent: 5
Why it's wrong here
This defines the percentage of the cluster that can be ejected, not the trigger threshold.
- ✗
consecutiveErrors: 5
Why it's wrong here
The field name is specific to the error code category (e.g., consecutive5xx).
- ✗
baseEjectionTime: 5s
Why it's wrong here
This determines how long an instance stays ejected.
