How to set (increase) query timeout?

[mt-mrx]

I have a flux (read) query which needs on my influxdb 2.4 instance ~13 seconds to return the data. At least that's the time the query takes when running it via the influxdb 2.4 data explorer web GUI.

When running the query via the "influxdb in" node I get a timeout.

RequestTimedOutError: Request timed out
    at ClientRequest.<anonymous> (/opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red/node_modules/@influxdata/influxdb-client/src/impl/node/NodeHttpTransport.ts:346:23)
    at ClientRequest.emit (node:events:513:28)
    at Socket.emitRequestTimeout (node:_http_client:814:9)
    at Object.onceWrapper (node:events:627:28)
    at Socket.emit (node:events:525:35)
    at Socket._onTimeout (node:net:526:8)
    at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:559:17)
    at processTimers (node:internal/timers:502:7)

I believe there is currently no way to increase the connection/query timeout when using the "influxdb in" node. Is there any other way to increase the (I believe) default 10 seconds timeout?

It would be nice to be able to specify the timeout parameter like the "precision" via a message property and/or "influxdb in" node configuration field.

According to this https://influxdata.github.io/influxdb-client-js/influxdb-client.connectionoptions.html I believe there is a "timeout" parameter when creating the client connection.

thx

An ugly workaround, but which fixes my issue at least, is the following code change in the directory /opt/iobroker/iobroker-data/node-red/node_modules of my iobroker installation. However I think it needs to be reapplied every time iobroker/node-red is updated and the module is reinstalled

added a configuration property for 1.8 and 2.x versions in version 0.7.0

Thanks, just tested it, works fine!
