Seting up HTTP_TARGETS_TIMEOUT value make results unstable

[tuxerrante]

Describe the bug After setting this value the target appears and disappears from the UI. I've tried also with and without double quotes, with and wihout 'ms'. Logs from the daemonset don't show much and we see no option to increase logging level through an ENV variable.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set the value in the values.yaml like

   extraEnv:
   - name: DISPLAY_NODENAME
   value: "true"
   - name: HTTP_TARGETS
   value: https://my.website/en
   - name: HTTP_TARGETS_TIMEOUT
   value: "1000ms"

2. Rollout
3. Wait a few minutes
4. See error on the UI

Expected behavior The target website should appear green after increasing the timeout from the default "500ms" to "1000ms" https://github.com/bloomberg/goldpinger/blob/95363554e4078ce20e4fe746ce98b332e472e469/pkg/goldpinger/config.go#LL56C1-L56C1

After removing the http timeout, the nodes come back green and the target website red

Using goldpinger 3.9, I see the same behavior, we had some http targets that took longer than 500ms, and when trying to increase the timeout, the UI basically disappears. Just the presence of the http_targets_timeout seems to cause this issue. Any update on a possible solution or workaround?
