Server Connection timeout

Hi,

 

I would like to control the connections time to my web servers. In my old HAProxy I had a "server timeout" option at the backend side to close connections after after 30 seconds whatever it's active or not.

 

So I'm looking for an option like that in the F5.

 

I'm running on F5 LTM 10.0.1.201

 

Thanks

 

Pat

    Look into profiles and defining timeouts there. If your situation is similar to mine you want a normal timeout but want to change it on the fly based on the request. Some of our applications take a long time to generate huge reports so inside of HTTP_REQUEST_SEND I change the timeout using something like this:

     $static::isReport is set to 1 in reports section of other rules.
if {[info exists "static::isReport"]} {
   Change timeout for report requests for both arms of the connection
   since this occurs inside HTTP_REQUEST_SEND.
  IP::idle_timeout 1800
}
