Connection error when accessing dbutils secrets

[pjv]

We have daily running pipelines that need to access dbutils secrets for API keys. However, the dbutils.secrets.get function within our python code we get the following error:

org.apache.http.conn.HttpHostConnectException: Connect to us-central1.gcp.databricks.com:443 [REDACTED] failed: Connection timed out (Connection timed out)

Anyone any idea how to avoid this error?

Hi @pjv,  Ensure your network configuration allows outbound traffic to Databricks and that your workspace is properly configured. Check that your secret scope and secrets are correctly set up, verify that your Databricks token hasn’t expired, and consider adding retry logic to handle temporary connectivity issues. Would you like more detailed guidance on any of these steps?

Hi @Kaniz_Fatma , thanks for all these suggestions. I have a retry logic implemented so that will cover it. Was just wondering if there was a cleaner fix. I will have a look at the network and workspace configuration and see if there is anything I can do there.
