Hello! I’m trying to set an admittedly long health check timeout of 5 hours to enable zero downtime deployment of a data indexing service. I’ve tried using the environment variable but it seems to cap at a timeout of 3600 seconds. Any tips?

the UI overwrites the variable you set, i removed the UI value from the db

the health check will now respect the variable

Ah, is there a way to do that from the ui for future reference?

Is it because I first tried the ui then used the variable?

but fwiw this health check thing is a slippery slope, right now its a 5 hour health check, tomorrow its a 24 hour health check, next week its a week long health check.

(we have people wanting a week long health check)

is there really no better solution?
