Question: Restart if unhealthy for more than x mins?

[edrock200]

Is it possible to configure autoheal to restart only if container is unhealthy for more than x mins? I have a container which has a db optimize routine which can sometimes make the container unresponsive and trigger an "unhealthy" state for a few minutes. As soon as it's done, the container goes healthy. Is there a way to tell autoheal "only restart if unhealthy for greater than x mins?" Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to set the health check configuration to only show unhealthy after those "few minutes"?
You have:

• interval: how frequent
• timeout: how long to wait for a response
• retries: how many failures are required to be declared unhealthy
• start-period: delay after startup before the first check

Understood, I don't think I will convince plex of changing it, but I'll give it a shot. :) Thanks again.

With compose you can overwrite the default health check with your own to extend the health check or what I do is script the optimize. Stop autoheal Optimize Start autoheal You're talking just a couple of minutes while the optimize completes. Im not going to give away the code as I didn't write it and its not my place to do so.

Oh I already have a script that does that, would just be nice to extend the timeout via autoheal. For others that want to do it it's just a simple bash script:

docker stop autoheal
curl -X PUT http://plexURL:32400/library/optimize?X-Plex-Token=plextoken
sleep 5m
docker start autoheal

Sub in your plex url and token and just cron that.
