Login Retry

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
