Timeout issue

Hello,

 

I am using a fast L4 forwarding vip to send all the traffic to back end and AFM associated with it. The source address is 0.0.0.0/0 and destination is 10.0.0.0/8. The time out settings are default (300 seconds).

 

Now I am facing issue with this time out value. Users running query to the DB behind F5 BIG IP getting time out issues if they gonna run a long query. We can't increase the time out value on the VIP because it gonna affect all the connections through the VIP and leave so many open connections for a while. This would be risky because the number of connection through the vip is too high.

 

Is there any way to define time-out settings for each firewall rule in AFM?

 

Regards, Jinshu
