0.5 seconds for UserParameter

[AlexLav]

Hello,

I read in the manual, that I have only 0.5 seconds to perform my own checks on the system, but I have some checks that can take couple of seconds. I don't mind that it will take some time, so how can I configure Zabbix to wait a bit more than 0.5 seconds?

thanx.

Where did you take the 0.5 seconds limit from??? ZABBIX server waits (by default) 3 seconds before timeout.

I read it somewhere in PDF manual ... Well, may be I got it wrong ....

OK, I found it:

"...Also, the scripts must be as quick as possible. The scripts must not run longer than 0.5 second, otherwise ZABBIX server will block on retrieval on the parameter, thus reducing overall performance. After three consequitive timeouts status of the parameter will be set to unsupported..."
