The number of times Slurp’it will try to login with SSH before it will return a time-out.
When can this be usefull?
- Older devices that always respond with a time-out the first time
- Busy devices which at the moment could not respond to SSH
- Strange tropical devices who don’t like automation and for unknown reasons will return a time-out once in a while
When is this less usefull ?
- When you experience latency issues
How does is work?
Well it’s pretty straight foward, we provide 2 parameters which you can tweak. The first one is how often we should retry to login and the second one is a delay between each retry.
How do I configure this?
You can set Docker compose variables for the Scraper
SCRAPER_LOGIN_RETRY: 3
Default: 1
Type: integer
Number of times ssh will try to login before giving up
SCRAPER_LOGIN_RETRY_DELAY: 0.5
Default: 0.1
Type: float
Time in seconds between each login retry
Example
version: ‘3’
services:
slurpit-scraper:
image: slurpit/scraper
environment:
SCRAPER_LOGIN_RETRY:3
SCRAPER_LOGIN_RETRY_DELAY:0.5
