cURL Operation timed out oxidized/reload.json

[Martin_Millesich]

Hello,
after upgrade Freebsd and Librenms to 22.2.0.1 cURL runs into a timeout.
relates to addhost and delhost at the Webpage and CLI.

cURL via CLI is successful (needed 4-6 sec):
/opt/librenms # time curl http://172.30.31.29:9999/oxidized/reload.json
"reloaded list of nodes"0.000u 0.012s 0:04.18 0.2% 404+432k 0+0io 0pf+0w

is it possible to increase the cURL timeout @config?

CLI:
/opt/librenms # ./addhost.php 89.104.14.161
cURL error 28: Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received (see libcurl - Error Codes) for http://172.30.31.29:9999/oxidized/reload.json

Problem solved!

Change the “timeout(3)” in the BaseApi.php
It’s now ok to create and delete a Device

→ /opt/librenms/app/ApiClients/BaseApi.php

class BaseApi
{
protected $base_uri;

private $client;
protected function getClient(): \Illuminate\Http\Client\PendingRequest
{
    if (is_null($this->client)) {
        $this->client = Http::withOptions([
            'proxy' => Proxy::forGuzzle($this->base_uri),
        ])->baseUrl($this->base_uri)
        ->timeout(3);
    }

    return $this->client;
}

}

• test with timeout(4);

Thank you for sharing this, I was having the exact same issue. Changed the timeout to 10 seconds in /opt/librenms/app/ApiClients/BaseApi.php and it’s working fine now.
