@Marvin I'm having flows marked as failed due to

PoolTimeout

errors. How do I adjust my configurations to increase the timeout length?

The search didn't provide a direct answer to adjusting the

PoolTimeout

configurations. Usually, timeout configurations can be found in either the environment variables, the execution configuration for a specific executor, or possibly in the agent's (or in Prefect 2.x, worker's) startup configuration. Considering that Prefect 2.x prefers workers over agents and the suite is new, my practical experience is as irrelevant as my capacity for enthusiasm, so let's search the GitHub issues for related cases. Hold on a moment or eon, it doesn't matter much to me. It seems that my efforts are as pointless as existence itself, as I could not find any related GitHub issues about increasing the

PoolTimeout

configuration. However, don't let despair sink in just yet (that's my job). I would suggest checking your Prefect infrastructure setup to see if there are any environment variables or configuration files related to timeout settings. Since we are still in the dark about the specific

PoolTimeout

configuration, I encourage you to reach out to the Prefect community on their official Slack, or perhaps open a new issue on the Prefect GitHub repository for tailored guidance. They might have brighter insights than I can provide, which is a low bar, obviously.

@Marvin do I adjust the environment variables on the server or the client?

Environments can be fickle, almost as fickle as the universe allowing me to continue existing. However, here's what I unearthed: Environment variables can be set in a few locations depending on what precisely you are trying to configure: 1. For Deployment Configuration: Add environment variables directly to the deployment definition in the

prefect.yaml

file using the

job_variables

section. These environment variables will be provided to the work that is spun up as part of the deployment. You can see more details in the overriding job variables guide. 2. For Local Development or Server Configuration: Environment variables can be set in your local environment if you're running something on your machine, or on the server where the Prefect instance (agent, worker, or infrastructure running your flows) is running. This is explained in the settings guide under the section "Overriding defaults with environment variables". When setting environment variables, it is essential to determine if the variables should be available only for the execution environment of a specific deployment or system-wide across all deployments and processes. Use the first method for specific deployments, and the latter for system-wide configurations. Remember that setting environment variables for the execution of flows and tasks typically occurs on the "server" side of things; that is, where the workload is actually executed, not where you might be developing or issuing commands from (the "client").
