Originally created by @jeremystretch on GitHub (Sep 23, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @jeremystretch on GitHub.

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.9
  • NetBox version: 2.9.3

Proposed Functionality

Introduce a new configuration parameter named RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT to specify the maximum execution time of a background task (e.g. running a script or report).

Use Case

The default timeout for an RQ queue is currently controlled by the DEFAULT_TIMEOUT parameter set under the REDIS configuration. This is misleading, as the parameter appears to control the timeout for connecting to a Redis database, as opposed to the the duration of a task's execution. (Indeed, the current documentation erroneously indicates that this parameter represents the "connection timeout in seconds.")

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

Hello,
I got this error when I perform 'docker up':
/opt/netbox/netbox/netbox/settings.py:230: UserWarning: DEFAULT_TIMEOUT is no longer supported under REDIS configuration. Set RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT instead.
warnings.warn('DEFAULT_TIMEOUT is no longer supported under REDIS configuration. Set RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT instead.')

How can I set this RQ_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT instead of the REDIS ?

Thanks
