Set Default Timeout for Intellisigs

The default timeout of Intellisigs helps ensure that faulty Intellisigs do not run indefinitely on a computer. You can define a default timeout value for all the Intellisig scripts that are executed on a computer or for a specific Intellisig. You can apply a longer default time to agents where the load is high, for example, database servers, and where Intellisigs require extra time to complete. For desktop computers, where the load is low, you can configure a lower timeout value.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to DSM, Agent, Asset Management.
2. Define a value for the following parameter:

   IntellisigDefaultExecutionTimeout

   Specifies the default timeout value in minutes.

   Default: 5

Note: When you create an Intellisig, set its timeout value to default. This action helps ensure that the agent applies the configured default timeout. If the Intellisig has a timeout value greater than zero, the specified value is enforced when the Intellisig is run.
