HTTP timeouts 🔗 link

For reasons unknown, my http tests sometimes take a while. As a result I am
getting intermittent alarms for "timeout" on the http tests...usually when
it exceeds 10 seconds. Is there a way to extend the timeout period for this
test?

Thanks

I have the same problem as well. I change the DURATION>7 for http tests
to fix it. I guess you could also use badhttp: tag. You can man on
bb-hosts to see the details on badTEST tag

From "man bbtest-net":

       --timeout=N
              Determines the timeout (in seconds) for each service
              that is tested. For TCP tests (those from BBNETSVCS), if
              the connection to the service does not succeed within N
              seconds, the service is reported as being down. For HTTP
              tests, this is the absolute limit for the entire request
              to the webserver (the time needed to connect to the
              server, plus the time it takes the server to respond to
              the request).  Default: 10 seconds


bbtest-net options are given in hobbitlaunch.cfg
