:Name: timeout
:Scope: input
:Type: word
:Default: 1800
:Required?: no
:Introduced: v8.2402.0

Description
-----------
Specifies the DTLS session timeout. As DTLS runs on the connectionless UDP
protocol, there are no automatic detections of a session timeout. The input
closes the DTLS session if no data is received from the client for the
configured timeout period. The default is 1800 seconds, which is equal to
30 minutes.

Input usage
-----------
.. _imdtls.parameter.input.timeout-usage:

.. code-block:: rsyslog

   module(load="imdtls")
   input(type="imdtls" timeout="900")
