Make REQUEST_TIMEOUT user configurable #120

vogtjob commented 5 months ago

Hi. We're currently running the Windows executable of STIGMAN Watcher and are having an issue with a rather large collection that spawns the error "Timeout awaiting 'request' for 5000ms......"

I'm assuming this is what is being referenced here?

I was going to ask if there was an undocumented environment variable we could set, but it appears that will be in a later version.

Thanks!

We're aware of the api timeout error with large collections in STIGMAN Watcher. Our team is currently working on it. Keep an eye out for the update!

@vogtjob The timeout you're seeing is probably the result of Watcher over fetching from the API.

While determining which Assets in a batch of results need to be created, Watcher fetches a detailed list of all the Assets in a Collection. For the largest Collections, this list too big to be returned to Watcher before the default timeout expires.

In #123 we've put a band aid on the problem by increasing the default timeout and exposing it via an envvar. The problem will be more fully addressed by #124 which will refactor the code that is over fetching to be more efficient.
