Getting error "urlopen error [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname"

[PrajwalNaik07]

I am running my slack app on the GCP kubernetes environment in socket mode, with 10 sockets open simultaneously.

Lately we have seen the bot failing to work and gives the following error:

Failed to send a request to Slack API server: <urlopen error [Errno -5] No address associated with hostname>

**Using python packege versions:

slack_bolt==1.19.0
slack_sdk==3.30.0**

Could you let us know the cause and resolution for the same

Hi @PrajwalNaik07, the "No address associated with hostname" error indicates an issue with DNS resolution or something like that within your Kubernetes cluster network infra. Searching by "No address associated with hostname" on the internet will help you find many Q&A threads on this topic.

Unfortunately, we're unable to provide more specific guidance on this topic. I hope you find a suitable solution soon!
