timeout_override

action: forcemerge
description: >-
  Perform a forceMerge on selected indices to 'max_num_segments' per shard
options:
  max_num_segments: 2
  timeout_override: 21600
filters:
- filtertype: ...

Actions snapshot, restore, and forcemerge will override this value to 21600 if timeout_override is unset. The close action will override the value to 180 if unset.

Some actions have a default value for timeout_override. The following table shows these default values:

All other actions have no default value for timeout_override.

This setting must be an integer number of seconds, or an error will result.

This setting is particularly useful for the forceMerge action, as all other actions have a new polling behavior when using wait_for_completion that should reduce or prevent client timeouts.
