NATS Connection Failures and Network Partitions

Detects high-severity failures in NATS messaging systems when clients experience repeated connection failures followed by network partitions. These failures can lead to complete message delivery disruption and system-wide instability.

This rule helps catch issues such as:

  • Network connectivity problems between NATS clients and servers
  • NATS server crashes or restarts causing client disconnections
  • Network partitions leading to client isolation
  • Connection timeouts due to network latency or server overload
