## Summary Implements configurable query execution timeout controls to prevent poorly optimized or excessive queries from consuming excessive server resources, causing performance degradation, or crashing the Zabbix server. Fixes: https://github.com/grafana/oss-big-tent-squad/issues/127 ## Problem Previously, the plugin only had an HTTP connection timeout (`timeout`) that controlled individual API request timeouts. However, a complete query execution could involve multiple API calls and run indefinitely if not properly controlled, potentially causing resource exhaustion. ## Solution Added a new `queryTimeout` setting that enforces a maximum execution time for entire database queries initiated by the plugin. Queries exceeding this limit are automatically terminated with proper error handling and logging. ## Testing 1. Configure a datasource with `queryTimeout` set to a low value (e.g., 5 seconds) 2. Execute a query that would normally take longer than the timeout 3. Verify that: - Query is terminated after the timeout period - Error message indicates timeout occurred - Logs contain timeout warning with query details - Other queries in the same request continue to execute ## Notes - `queryTimeout` is separate from `timeout` (HTTP connection timeout) - `queryTimeout` applies to the entire query execution, which may involve multiple API calls - Default value of 60 seconds ensures reasonable protection while allowing normal queries to complete - Timeout errors are logged with query refId, queryType, timeout duration, and datasourceId for troubleshooting
