@kapa.ai How can I define a timeout for synchronization?

To define a timeout for synchronization in Airbyte, you have a few options depending on your specific setup and requirements: 1. For general job timeouts, you can configure the

SYNC_JOB_MAX_TIMEOUT_DAYS

environment variable. As mentioned in the [Airbyte documentation](https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/heartbeats#technical-details), the default value is 3 days, and the minimum possible value is 1 day. You can set this in the

flags.yaml

file. 2. For more granular control, some connectors allow you to set specific timeout parameters. For example: - The Facebook Marketing source connector has an "Insights Job Timeout" setting, which allows you to set a custom value between 10 to 60 minutes for waiting for the report job to complete, as described in the [Facebook Marketing Source Settings](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/facebook-marketing#facebook-marketing-source-settings). - For database connectors like MySQL and Postgres, there's an initial CDC waiting time that can be configured. The default is 5 minutes (300 seconds), and you can adjust this within a valid range of 120 to 1200 seconds, as mentioned in the [MySQL](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/mysql/mysql-troubleshooting#advanced-setting-up-initial-cdc-waiting-time) and [Postgres](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/postgres/postgres-troubleshooting#advanced-setting-up-initial-cdc-waiting-time) troubleshooting guides. 3. For JDBC-based connectors, you can often set connection timeouts using custom JDBC parameters. For instance, with the Postgres source, you can set a

connectTimeout

in the JDBC URL Parameters field, as explained in the [Postgres troubleshooting guide](https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/postgres/postgres-troubleshooting#advanced-custom-jdbc-connection-strings). It's important to note that the specific timeout options available may vary depending on the connector you're using and your deployment method. If you need more precise control over timeouts for a particular connector, you may need to check the documentation for that specific connector or consider opening a feature request if the option isn't available.
