Error pinging enclave api – connection refused

Error message

[Jul 10, 2025, 5:44 PM]: VM: Error pinging enclave api..Get "https://localhost:5000/api/v1/ping/enclave": dial tcp [::1]:5000: connect: connection refused

Error pinging enclave api..Get "https://localhost:5000/api/v1/ping/enclave": dial tcp [::1]:5000: connect: connection refused

Cause

This error is generated because the algorithm container is waiting for the Enclave api to start. During normal startup, there is a short window where the API endpoint is not yet accepting connections.

Impact

• Transient error only during early startup
• Does not indicate a misconfiguration or failure, assuming it resolves once the enclave is fully up

Resolution / Workaround

• No action required.
   This message can be safely ignored if:
  • It occurs only during initial startup, and
  • Subsequent steps complete successfully and the enclave api is reachable.
