How do I avoid Traffic Server or Perl script queries timing out?
It is possible to issue a query that will take longer run longer to run than the configured timeouts (particularly if the Traffic Server host is under-powered or heavily loaded). In this case a Traffic Server query may result in “page cannot be displayed error” displayed by the browser after 3 or 4 minutes or a Perl script query may timeout. To avoid this, limit the number of records retrieved to a “sufficiently large” data set for your purposes by including the ‘resultTruncate=(N)’ value in your query. If it is not desirable to limit the number of records, it is possible to configure longer timeouts.
