Error description
Project build step that users .monitor command will failed with 'Connection to agent timed out.' if step runs longer than console 'Agent Connect Timeout' setting. Steps to reproduce: - Create project with step to run .monitor command on file. ie: .monitor -w 2 /tmp/test - Run said project. Expected result: Project step continue to run until file being monitored changed file size to continue step execution. Actual result: Project step failed after console 'Agent Connect Timeout' is exceeded. Workaround: Increase 'Agent Connect Timeout' setting to allow the .monitor command to complete.
Local fix
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The engine was using the agent connection timeout was used to judge how frequently heartbeats were expected to be received by the engine. Agents will heartbeat every 15 seconds by default regardless of this setting, so it did not make sense to use it for this purpose.
Problem conclusion
Although originally noticed in relation to .monitor, this is not unique to that command. Any long-running step command would have been subject to this restriction. The connection timeout will now only be used in connection with the heartbeat if it is at least 20 seconds; otherwise 20 seconds will be used, instead.
Temporary fix
