Description

Setting global request timeout allows extending the API server request timeout limit to a duration appropriate to the user's connection speed. setting this timeout limit to be too large can exhaust the API server resources making it prone to Denial-of-Service attack. Orca has detected that the '--request-timeout' parameter is set to more then 60 seconds.
