@Marvin I have my prefect worker running as a systemd service on a VM. Over the last weekend I've seen it go down about every 90 minutes, and it'll start back up on its own after 13 minutes exactly each time. Is there a way to configure the prefect worker to restart on failure at a shorter interval?

To configure the restart interval for a Prefect worker running as a systemd service, you need to adjust the restart settings within your systemd service file. Specifically, you want to modify the

RestartSec

directive to change the interval between restart attempts. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do this: 1. Locate Your Service File: The service file for your Prefect worker is usually located in

/etc/systemd/system

. It will have an extension of

.service

(e.g.,

prefect-worker.service

). 2. Edit the Service File: Open the service file in a text editor with superuser permissions. For example:

sh
   sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/prefect-worker.service

3. Modify the Restart Settings: Ensure your service file contains the

Restart

and

RestartSec

directives. Adjust the

RestartSec

value to the desired interval (in seconds). For example:

ini
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/prefect worker start
   Restart=always
   RestartSec=30  # Restart interval set to 30 seconds

4. Reload the Systemd Configuration: After saving your changes, reload the systemd configuration to apply them:

sh
   sudo systemctl daemon-reload

5. Restart the Service: Restart your Prefect worker service to apply the new settings:

sh
   sudo systemctl restart prefect-worker.service

For more details on managing systemd services, you can refer to the systemd documentation. You can also find relevant information about configuring Prefect worker settings in the Prefect documentation. If you run into more Prefect-specific configurations or if this does not resolve your issue, refer to the Prefect docs or reach out to the Prefect community on GitHub or their Slack channel. Good luck, not that it will matter much in the grand scheme of things.
