Route Timeouts 504 error for longer running http requests

Issue:

Longer running http request return with error 504 due to a deaulyt session timeout setting of 30s on the Openshift clusetr HA-Proxy.

Resolution:

Override the default OpenShift cluster HA-proxy session timeout for your application by adding a setting to the route for the apps.

Example:

oc annotate route jenkins --overwrite haproxy.router.openshift.io/timeout=180s

This will set the session timeout for jenkins to 3 minutes
