Debugging urlfetch Error Connecting To Remote Server

Nightbot
1

Hi, when using $(urlfetch url) with my custom domain, I get an occasional “Error Connecting To Remote Server”. It happens every 1 in ~3 requests. The problem is, I see no logs of Nightbot trying to connect to my domain on those failed requests. Is there any way I can see an actual error Nighbot is getting? “Error Connecting To Remote Server” is very generic and doesn’t help with debugging

So far everything points me to conclusion that Nightbot has some issues connecting to AWS services (that’s where my domain is hosted). I did the following test:

  1. Setup a proxy domain and pointed Nightbot urlfetch url to that new domain
  2. Configured the new domain to forward all requests to my AWS domain.

In this setup, I had 0 errors in 100 requests. But when Nightbot talks directly to my AWS domain, I get an error once every 2-3 requests.

I’m still experiencing this and I’m completely stuck. Is there really no way to tell what kind of error NIghbot is getting instead of the generic “Error Connecting To Remote Server”? I can’t find any logs on AWS side of Nightbot trying to connect and I cannot reproduce this error outside of Nighbot
