[checkmk-commits] 7164 FIX cmk-update-agent: Add timeout handling for connection to server

Module: check_mk Branch: master Commit: a5a46ad59a30683406a136f1f1460bef36e8c3d5 URL: http://git.mathias-kettner.de/git/?p=check_mk.git;a=commit;h=a5a46ad59a3068… Author: Andreas Umbreit &lt;au(a)mathias-kettner.de&gt; Date: Mon Feb 18 09:00:38 2019 +0100 7164 FIX cmk-update-agent: Add timeout handling for connection to server Previously, the connection from the agent updater to the Check_MK Server did not handle timeouts. This could lead to situations where the agent updater would run forever waiting for a response. This was particularly noticeable when running the agent updater under Windows, because the agent updater would fail to start over again, showing an error like <code>copying plugins\cmk-update-agent.exe to temp\cmk-update-agent.exe failed</code>. The agent updater now will cancel the connection if there is a connection timeout detected or if the connection freezes. The timeout limit is set to 120 seconds.<br> This timeout handling does not limit the overall connection time.
