Error Codes Numbering Convention
Description
Error codes for Chaos Engine are five digit numbers that can be used to reference similar errors in different situations. The first two digits of the error code depend on where in the application the error occurred. The third digit may be used to further specify a subcomponent by the individual module (i.e., AWS EC2 vs AWS RDS). It may also be grouped with the remaining digits to form a unique code for the error.
1 2 3 4 5
| | | \+-- Specific to the individual error
| | \-- May be used by a module to further divide errors
| \-- Specific to the package in the application where the error occurred (i.e., Platform, Container, ShellClient)
\-- Specific to the module of the application where the error occurred (i.e., Core, Kubernetes, AWS EC2)
