Q: What is the Query Timeout setting in the MIB Monitor plugin?

Below are the steps on how the query time limit is set.

1. The timeout is first retrieved from the configuration parameter: queryTimeout
xml_timeout = queryTimeout;

2. If configuration value is zero, timeout is set as half the sample interval.
if queryTimeout = 0
xml_timeout = sampleInterval/2
else
xml_timeout = queryTimeout;

3. If value is less than 5 sec, query timeout is set by default to 5 sec.
if queryTimeout < 5
xml_timeout = 5

if (sampleInterval/2) < 5
xml_timeout = 5

4. Set the network session query timeout as current time and the xml_timeout
se_timeout = curr_system_time + xml_timeout

5. While current_time is less than the time limit, session will open another query.
