The Unanswered Knock

Haikus

I knocked on the door
The seconds keep ticking by
Nobody answers

Request has been sent
But the response is missing
Timeout is reached

Somewhere in the wires
The answer is floating round
Knock remains empty

Knock upon the door
Server takes too long to speak
Fifty-four is dead

Timeout comes too soon
Error drops into the dark
Silence answers back

We waited for hours
Nothing happens in the log
Gateway fails again

Human caused the lag
System couldn’t handle load
Process is destroyed

Write the final check
Dashboard paints the error green
Flat file never lies
