URL / HTTP Test longer than 10 minutes

Post by daseymour »

Would like the ability to increase the Timeout on a HTTP / Url test item to at least an hour. Currently, it is limited to 600 sec. We use HostMonitor in a closed intranet environment and some of our web scripts take longer than 10 minutes to run.

Thanks,
- Derek (using HM v6.80)

H'm... :roll: There is internal "integrity" check - HostMonitor checks test items and terminates threads that stay in "checking" state for 15 min. Its is necessary because some 3rd party modules (e.g. network clients or ODBC drivers) may hung and never respond.
So, I don't like idea to perform some test for an hour.
May be its possible to setup several test items? E.g. one test item (built-in Scheduler or standard Windows scheduler) may execute script, then 1 hour later HostMonitor will check result?

Regards
Alex
