Getting Exception 503 Server Error:Service unavailable for url:splnk_host_url

[sarvendras]

HI Team,

I am getting exception frequently while pushing logs to Splunk UAT server.Our python jobs get failed due to this whenevery splunk service is unavailable.
Exception 503 Server Error:Service unavailable for url:splnk_host_url

Please suggest how to catch this specific exception and how can we make any retry logic like retry to 3-4 times to reconnect splunk server so that our jobs are not get failed. is there any retry param to pass

I am using pass statement in except still jobs get failed when 503 exception.

try:
splunk_handler = SplunkHecHandler('splunkfw.domain.tld',
'EA33046C-6FEC-4DC0-AC66-4326E58B54C3',
port=8888, proto='https', ssl_verify=True,
source="HEC_example")
logger.addHandler(splunk_handler)
logger.info("Testing Splunk HEC Info message")
except Exception as e:
pass

Thanks
