New features and enhancements
Allowing database sessions to make progress when all collectors are down
In protocol 8, when in a situation where all collectors for a S-TAP are down, and the firewall or query rewrite is active, S-TAP must immediately pass packets to keep database sessions active if the default verdict is pass, or drop sessions if the default verdict is Drop. The following parameter was added for S-TAP to allow database sessions to make progress when all collectors down.
VERDICT_RESUME_DELAY
Description: This parameter allows database sessions to make progress when all collectors down. The value is the number of seconds the S-TAP will delay sending verdict requests to the collector after a failover. During this time, S-TAP acknowledges the verdicts locally. After the time period expires, the S-TAP resumes sending verdict requests to the collector.
Default value: 30
Value range: 0-300
