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 .
