Relay properties

reference australia Updated Oct 6, 2026 1 min read relay-properties-reference.md

Relay properties control connection, polling, certificate, and logging behavior for a private relay. Set these properties in the Relay Property [sn_zc_tunnel_relay_prop] table on your instance.

Property	Default	Description
reconnect-multiplier	2	Multiplier applied to the reconnect interval when the relay retries a connection to the gateway.
reconnect-jitter	0.3	Random variation applied to the reconnect interval to prevent multiple relays from attempting to reconnect at the same time.
config-poll-interval	30000 ms	Interval in milliseconds at which the relay polls the instance for configuration updates.
debug	false	When set to true, enables debug logging on the relay.
reregistration-max-attempts	5	Number of retry attempts made when registering backend services with the gateway instance. If all attempts are exhausted, the gateway connection is closed.
max-streams	10000	Maximum number of concurrent streams supported. When the cap is reached, new streams are rejected and traffic is distributed to another relay.
stream-window-kb	256 KB	Flow control window size in kilobytes for each stream. Controls the amount of data in flight per stream.
cert-reissue-window	30 days	Number of days before certificate expiry at which the relay initiates certificate renewal. The relay generates a new certificate signing request and re-establishes the connection using the renewed certificate.
http-request-timeout	30000 ms	Timeout in milliseconds for HTTP requests made by the relay to the instance.
reconnect-initial-delay	1000 ms	Delay in milliseconds before the relay attempts to reconnect to the gateway.
reconnect-max-delay	60000 ms	Maximum delay in milliseconds between reconnection attempts.
cert-monitor-interval	86400000 ms	Interval in milliseconds between certificate expiration checks.
glide.kmf.issuing.reverse_tunnel_relay.validity_ms	365 days	Validity period of the relay certificate. Minimum: 1 millisecond. Maximum: 20 years.
