Introduction

Stops a Cloud Foundry application for the configured duration by calling the CF V3 POST /v3/apps/:guid/actions/stop endpoint. When the action ends, the app is automatically restarted if it was in STARTED state before the action began.

Use Cases

• Simulate an application outage to test whether dependent services degrade gracefully.
• Verify that monitoring and alerting fire when an app goes down.
• Validate that upstream load balancers or clients handle an unavailable backend.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Default
Duration	How long the app should be stopped before the automatic restart.	60s

Rollback

On action end or cancellation, if the app was originally STARTED, the extension calls POST /v3/apps/:guid/actions/restart to bring it back. If the app was already STOPPED before the action, no restart is performed.
