RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Marian Jankular 2021-03-10 15:55:19 UTC 
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.
Comment 3 Pavel Moravec 2021-03-11 11:30:30 UTC 
Having global (or even plugin-based) option to manually set cmd timeout sounds sane to me.

As RHEL7 does not accept RFEs, I am reassigning it to RHEL8 - if we propose a PR in a reasonable time, we can get it in 8.5/9.0 .
