title: OpenShift Service Proxy timeout
body: <p>I have an application deployed on <strong>OpenShift Container Platform v3.6</strong>. It consists of multiple services interconnected to each other. </p>
  
  <p>The <strong><em>frontend</em></strong> service calls a time consuming function of the <strong><em>backend</em></strong> service (through a REST call), but after <strong>30 seconds</strong> it receives a <em>"504 Gateway Timeout"</em> message. <strong><em>Frontend</em></strong> runs over <em>nginx</em>, but I've already configured it with long proxy send/read timeouts, so the <em>504</em> message doesn't come from it. I think it comes from the <strong><em>Service Proxy</em></strong> component of OpenShift Platform, but I can't find out where and how configure a kind of <em>service proxy timeout</em>. I know the existence of <em>HAProxy</em> timeout for external routes, but my services leave in the same cluster application and communicate each other via <em>OpenShift Container Platform DNS</em>.</p>
  
  <p>Could be a Service Proxy timeout issue? How can it be configured?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
