Request Entity Too Large¶
The following error message appears in an API call, in the browser devtools, or in the UI to alert you:
413 Request Entity Too Large
Details¶
When an event is sent from a tool or asset in your data estate, the event is received by the Event Ingestion API. The API verifies certain features of the event—metadata, authentication, size, and so on—before the system aggregates and displays the event in the UI.
Potential causes¶
There is an event payload limit of 100 KB. If an event is sent that exceeds this limit, the system alerts you.
Note
The Test Outcomes event has an additional limit of 500 items per test_outcomes array. For technical details, see the API Swagger documentation.
Solution¶
Best practice is to start by looking at answers to the following questions:
- Which event caused the 413?
- Has this error happened more than once?
- Which component is sending this event?
- What integration method is being used?
In some cases, the event data sent to Observability may be large. Verifying that you have a 1:1 component:tool relationship, using an agent rather than sending events directly, or sending smaller events more frequently can be some ways to decrease the chances of this error.
For example, with the export from TestGen to Observability, Test Outcome events are designed to send results in smaller sets, rather than one large export per test run.
