Description Pavel Moravec 2021-06-02 12:56:36 UTC

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1937418

I am copying this bug because: 

to have rhel 8.5 in par with 9.0 beta



Description of problem:
Currently, there is the possibility to set "--plugin-timeout".
I am opening this RFE for the possibility to set a globally timeout for commands executed by plugins.


Additional info:

sosreport fails to gather data because command "vdsm-tool dump-volumen-chains <UUID_of_SD>" of vdsm plugin does take longer time for bigger storage domains
after increasing the timeout for the cmd_timeout it finished successfully.
