active-timeout
This command sets the timer to close an established and active connection to the server.
Syntax
active-timeout seconds
Parameters
- seconds
- Sets the number of seconds to wait before the connection is closed. Enter a value in the range 0 - 60. The default value is 0.
Guidelines
The active-timeout command sets the number of seconds to wait before an established and active connection to the server is closed. The default value of 0 allows the log target to most efficiently send messages to the server by maintaining a working connection indefinitely.
Attention: If
multiple log targets have the following configuration, they might
share connections.
- The same local address and port
- The same remote address and port
Because of potential connection-sharing, set the same active timeout for these log targets.
You can use the connect-timeout and idle-timeout connection
commands to modify the additional timeout values.
- The connect timeout sets the number of seconds to wait to establish a connection to the server before an error message is generated.
- The idle timeout sets the number of seconds to wait before an established, but inactive, connection to the server is closed.
