Streaming API outage last night?

We have a cron job that runs every half hour to verify the status of our Streaming API client and to make sure it's connected to SalesForce.  Last night between 2:30 AM and 4:30 AM (central time), I received several notifications that the Streaming Client was not happy.

 

I'm investigating this morning and I see a lot of errors involving empty responses and failed connections to the Streaming API via the Bayeux Client.  Error events occurred during an oauth attempt's Soap call around 2:18 AM.

 

After several errors and restarts, and after the final restart at 4:18 AM, the StreamingAPI, our listener, the Bayeux Client, and every other piece has been happy and 100% functional.  It's been running perfectly well for about 5.5 hours now so there was something transient that took place that I'd just like to understand better.

 

The oauth that started this whole error snowball was a part of a Rest API call, but when that failed, we shut down the entire process.  On restart, the Streaming API connection failed. (Up until that point, there had been no errors and everything had been up and working 100% for around 11 hours according to our logs.)

That killed it good, so it wasn't until 2:30 AM when the next Cron job came along to restart the process that we saw:

Again, it was failed down until the next cron job at 3:00 AM, which restarted and everything was fine until 3:51 AM:

This particular error didn't kill our process, it just broke the stream, which automatically restarted then worked until 4:18 AM at which point there was a Bayeux Client error:

New information that may shed some light on the issue-  at some point last night, our DNS server was undergoing maintenance.  This probably explains the initial error, and possibly most of the errors, but what about the last couple of issues?

 

At 3:51 AM, after successfully connecting and listening to the Streaming API channel for almost an hour, (but not 120 minutes), we received a 402 Unknown Client error; followed closely by a Bayeux notification of

 

java.net.ProtocolException: Empty response: TransportExchange@19673895=POST//cs14-api.salesforce.com:443/cometd/23.0/connect#7

 

That still strikes me as strange.

Current implementation of Streaming API depends on stickiness with specific appservers where the cometd session is created (after handshake). BTW, there is massive rearchitecture work in progress to get rid of dependency on stickiness. But that will take a few months before it is available.

 

Anyway, with the current implementation stickiness is important. So if for some reasons the loadbalancer cannot stick to the requested appserver, the clients will receive "402-unknown clientid" error. Ideally this should happen rarely. But we have identified some bugs in the system which were causing the stickiness to fail once in a while. We have identified thos issues in internal system testing and those issues are being worked out and will be deployed in production soon. So you should see better streaming experience.

 

We appreciate the diligence and efforts to monitor health of streaming API.

 

Thanks!

Vinod.
