Description

The create of a vm is running into a timeout when using customize linux_options for the setup of IP /dns etc. The machine is already configured and in desired state - only the event pull is not working.

We have a high retention amount of events on our productive system. The terraform pulling of events does not use any filter so it is running into a timeout. Maybe it is a solution to use a filter and pull only the events of the last 10 minutes (depending on the defined timeout). Testing a similar manual query on the event queue with a filter works, without it also runs into timeout.

Testing our config on a small test vsphere cluster works when there is only a small event retention.

Terraform Configuration

  clone {
    template_uuid = data.vsphere_virtual_machine.template.uuid

    customize {
      linux_options {
        host_name = each.value.name
        domain    = "mytest.mygroup"
      }
      network_interface {
        ipv4_address = each.value.address
        ipv4_netmask = each.value.netmask
      }
      ipv4_gateway = each.value.asa_gateway
    }
  }

Hi @tom-mes 👋 - have you tried setting the API Timeout in the provider configuration to help resolve the issue due to the potential congestion?
