DATARCVR_READ_TIMEOUT

This parameter is shipped in the Portal software and is listed in the Add Advanced Parameter window.

Valid Values: Numeric value in seconds (Default = 600)

Scope: This parameter can be configured at the Domain or Data Collector level, for an OS, or for a specific host.

Use this parameter to modify the wait time for the data receiver to send a reply before the process times out. This might be necessary when data collection times out and cannot complete. Use this parameter if you are seeing data collection errors such as, Read timed out. You can increase the default time-out value for the connection time (in seconds) between the data collector and the data receiver. Assign this parameter to the problem collector. Typically, this advanced parameter will be used in large collection environments where factors such as network performance and the sheer amount of data can impact responses.
