Hello, I need your advice on adjusting the performance of ngnix. After searching in the operator definition I noticed that the values are currently static and I can’t change them. [https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/234a10d185fbaf3cb881f890cf5cac91f0d71be8/roles/installer/templates/configmaps/config.yaml.j2#L91](https://github.com/ansible/awx-operator/blob/234a10d185fbaf3cb881f890cf5cac91f0d71be8/roles/installer/templates/configmaps/config.yaml.j2#L91) However, by adding a second replica I solved my problem with the amount of API calls our Configure AWX project generates when configuring Ansible AWX. With a replica I get this error. “msg”: “There was an unknown error when trying to connect to [https://servername/api/v2/job\_templates/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*65/survey\_spec/:](https://servername/api/v2/job_templates/ ******** 65/survey_spec/:) timeout The read operation timed out” In fact I always have a read operation time out but not always on the same endpoint. It looks like a limit on the amount of total calls. I checked the number of connections to Ngnix via curl localhost:8052/nginx\_status and I saw a maximum of 150 connections. That’s why I was thinking that if I increase the number of worker\_processes or worker\_connections it could solve my problem because theoretically by using a 2nd replica I double my values and in this case I don’t have any more problem. Do you have any idea what is causing my problem. Thank you for your help!
