Description

Overall tracking issue for major outlier detection features:

  • Consecutive 5xx
  • Periodic SR
  • Periodic latency

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing outlier detection implementation for consecutive 5xx and periodic success rate; understand the outlier detection framework (e.g., OutlierDetectorImpl, EventLogger). Identify where latency metrics can be integrated (e.g., from upstream response times). Implement a new latency outlier detector that monitors cluster level latency statistics and triggers ejection when thresholds are exceeded.
