Description
Issue Summary
The documentation for the plugin.webhooks.http.backoff.interval.exponent property is incomplete.
The calculation mentioned in the property description is:
(initial backlog interval) * (backoff exponent ^ number of failures)
Issues:
- the calculation should include the "backoff trigger count" (plugin.webhooks.http.backoff.trigger.count)
- there's a typo: "initial backlog interval" should be "initial backoff interval"
This is reproducible on Data Center: (yes)
Steps to Reproduce
N/A
Expected Results
The formula should be:
(initial backoff interval) * (backoff exponent ^ (number of failures - backoff trigger count))
Actual Results
The current documentation shows:
(initial backlog interval) * (backoff exponent ^ number of failures)
Workaround
Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
