`serverStatus` Calls do not Always Succeed

As a Block Node User
I want to reliably be able to call serverStatus
So that I can rely on the method

Technical Notes

• in recent k6 test runs, we notice that 95 % of around 10k calls to serverStatus succeed
• we need to investigate why so, is that a k6 issue or not
• if not a k6 issue, we need to resolve the issue

what is the response status in the failures?
does this still happens if we do less requests, lets say 1000? I am trying to understand if starts failing due to the load, which is my guess.

@AlfredoG87 these are good questions, I am asking myself also. We have to do some digging in order to figure out. We need to do some debugging to see the response statuses and also to do rapid calls of the server status with something else than k6 in order to see if the issue is in k6 itself (maybe unlikely). If not, then this indicates we have an issue we need to fix in the block node.
