Question

Fortios provider timeout ( terraform )

Okay here's the deal, I was trying some new items and ran into an issue that led to more ideas. Does FortiOS/provider have a default timeout?

 

So if I'm applying code and Terraform can't reach the host, can we define the timeout in the provider.tf? AI search says yes, but anytime I do a validate, it complains about that not being supported.

 

here's what I'm running

 

kfelix@proto fortios % cat .terraform.lock.hcl | grep -i ersion

  version = "1.24.1"

 

I even tried to defined the time-out under the resource, and validate still complains

FWIW I did some TF_LOG and fund out the timeout is like 20min and retries eems to kick off at 1min 16sec interval. 

 

If anybody seen any literature on setting a shorter http_timeout in your provider or resource section let me know
